Huge Study of Chats Between Delusional Users and AI Finds Alarming Patterns
Huge Study
*Looks inside
this latest study examined the chat logs of 19 real users of chatbots — primarily OpenAI’s ChatGPT — who reported experiencing psychological harm as a result of their chatbot use.
Pretty small sample size despite being a large dataset that they pulled from, its still the dataset of just 19 people.
AI sucks in a lot of ways sure, but this feels like fud.
The also use the words “the,” “at,” “is,” and “it,” but that doesn’t make it their jargon.
We really need to stop condemning entire words just because some people we don’t like used them…
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been accused of using a “dogwhistle” because I used a totally innocuous word in accordance with its literal meaning without having any idea that it’s apparently been co-opted by some group of hate-filled extremists because I don’t follow those groups and I don’t know their lingo…
Like, soon we won’t have any words left that we’re still allowed to use. Language is already getting dumbed down, and I’m tired of walking on eggshells lest I say a word that could potentially be misinterpreted in light of a vague association to a different term that has a double-entendre that some niche circles use in some reprehensible way in their ostensibly secret code, or that I didn’t know was a euphemism…
I’m not arguing with you, at what point did I claim you said anything that I disagree with?
I was just using your comment as a springboard
Life is… brutal…
It doesn’t have to be. We humans are capable of being civilized, we’ve done it before. For a while I thought world peace was within our reach, at least in my lifetime, but now I’m not so sure…
Even on the smaller scale, people don’t have to be so cruel to each other. It’s a choice. A deeply-ingrained, generational pattern, maybe, but a choice to wake up each day and continue living in that inertia.
Of course, it takes more than an individual to break that tide. It’s a collective choice. But collective choices are just the sum of all the individual choices that reach critical mass…
I’m just absently philosophizing… don’t mean to blow smoke up your ass…
don’t mean to blow smoke up your ass…
Oh they tried that it doesn’t make the hole work any better
