Huge Study of Chats Between Delusional Users and AI Finds Alarming Patterns - Lemmy.World

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 hugeness is probably

391, 562 messages across 4,761 different conversations

That’s a lot of messages

If that’s only 19 users, that’s around 250 conversations per user 🤔
…and about 82 messages per conversation. Also, at least half of all the messages are from the user to the AI, and the other half are from the AI to the user, meaning around 41 messages from the user per conversation.
Yeah, I also thought about that, looks like a lot, but I guess users in this case differ from ordinary usage
