Ran into this, it's just unbelievably sad.
"I never properly grieved until this point" - yeah buddy, it seems like you never started. Everybody grieves in their own way, but this doesn't seem healthy.

"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Holy shit dude, this is just... profoundly depressing. We've truly failed as a society if THIS is how people are trying to cope with things, huh. I'd wish this guy the best with his grief and mourning, but I get the feeling he'd ask ChatGPT what I meant instead of actually accepting it.
I kind of get the one side of it, having a void to scream into can be cathartic and maybe useful...but the fact that you can then use it as a shoddy "emulation" of a person to avoid actually processing the loss, and to have it reinforce delusions is...yeaaaaaah... fun future we're sprinting into.
