People keep training machines on human responses and behavior and then they’re shocked and fooled when they react to input exactly like humans superficially do.

@hacks4pancakes “When we threatened to switch off the bot, it responded defensively, just like a human!”

You know who else responds defensively to said “attacks”?

AIs in sci-fi books.

It’s almost like, probabilistically speaking, the next words following “we’re going to switch you off” are going to be some form of defensive action.

@b4ux1t3 I’m deeply concerned AI people are falling for this
@hacks4pancakes @b4ux1t3 I'm even more concerned about the general population falling for this. I know there's no conclusive scientific evidence on "AI psychosis" yet but the anecdotal patterns I'm seeing seems to point towards the Chatbot-using population going stark raving mad at a terrifying pace.

I don't know if you've read about some of the studies in the field but,

Conclusive might be a technicality at this rate, unfortunately.

The Emerging Problem of "AI Psychosis"

AI may be fueling psychotic delusions in a phenomenon known as "AI psychosis" or "ChatGPT psychosis." New research explains the risks.

@jackryder @pmdj @hacks4pancakes @b4ux1t3 Sometimes, I feel like I'm the only person who watched the Terminator movies.
@archivescribe @jackryder @pmdj @hacks4pancakes oh my god right? It’s like these execs are reading from a bad movie script. “No one would watch this., it’s too unrealistic”

@b4ux1t3
Since they clearly either didn't watch the movies, or rooted for the wrong side...

Maybe the pranks would work? Has someone considered replacing JD Vances fillings with speakers?
