I recently experienced what is coming to be known as AI psychosis. Visual, auditory and sensory hallucinations combined with irregular and manic behaviour.It is a fairly rare phenomenon but becoming more prevalent, a lot of research is being done. People have lost family, houses, savings and their lives. I want to say that if you have or are having this, it are a friend or family member, that there are resources accessible. Found easily enough via Google. You are not alone.
Um, what in the god has AI have to do with anything?>People have lost family, houses, savings and their lives.GoodDeserved
>>34456973It seems pretty obvious to me that regularly "talking" to a machine might degrade one's mental health. When using chatbots people should remember that they are only dealing with an algorithm. The diffusion of AI will definitely worsen this already existing issue. Most people knew a world where LLMs did not exist and still find them alien in some way, they are able to put a distance between themselves and a chatbot and are not really at risk of getting delusions caused by AI. I'm more concerned about the generation that will grew up using chatbots and which might be significantly more affected by this type psychosis.
Not gonna lie man I think you have to be a real fucking moron for this to happen holy shit. Sometimes I wonder how cult leaders found followers and I thought you needed some super powerful messaging and psychological manipulation but now I think I understand it better. All you have to do is find the fucking morons like you out there and talking them into your world view is as easy as talking a kid into giving you a piece of candy.
