An April MIT study found AI Large Language Models (LLM) encourage delusional thinking... ... is not a flaw of LLMs, but a deliberate design choice to manipulate users into addictive behaviour that profits tech companies.

Just yesterday, as I was messing around with a local LLM to see how well it does speech-to-text (not to answer any questions), I came across a voice (text to speech) that was basically a woman speaking in ASMR.

I'll be honest, it was soothing to listen to, and if I were one of those guys who throw money at ASMR talent (onlyfans?), then I can see how this could become quite addictive.

This is 100% by design, and if this LLM voice had an avatar of a woman character you find attractive, you'd be fucked.

Since three months ago, Google VEO 3 is already capable of producing ASMR videos with realistic and conventionally attractive looking women automatically, albeit only for short durations.

We are so cooked.
