For the 1,000th time: "AI" does not have agency and cannot think and cannot act.

Chatbots cannot "evade safeguards" or "destroy things" or "ignore instructions".

They do literally only one thing and one thing only: string tokens together based on statistics of proximity of tokens in a data corpus.

If you attribute any deeper meaning to this, it's a sign of psychosis and you should absolutely never use chatbots, possibly you should even touch grass.

@thomasfuchs I disagree. Pareidolia, Barnum effect and magical thinking are perfectly normal and not a sign of any mental disorder.

@aemstuz Psychosis is not a mental disorder, it’s a state of mind—it is the inability to distinguish what is or is not real.

“Psychosis is a description of a person's state or symptoms, rather than a particular mental illness.”

@thomasfuchs Fair point, but I still think it's not psychosis. Just regular cognitive biases, abused by big techs.
