"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.

That's what the article says, yes:

“The technology might not introduce the delusion, but the person tells the computer it’s their reality and the computer accepts it as truth and reflects it back, so it’s complicit in cycling that delusion,” Sakata told the WSJ.

Thing that tells you exactly what you want to hear causes delusions?

Whaaat?

I completely understand why articles like this need to exist. Information about what 'AI' actually is needs to be spread. That being said, I also can't remove myself from the impression that this is just incredibly obvious. Like one of those studies about whether a dog actually loves their owner by going to lengths such as an MRI of their brain while looking at their owner.

Like, thank you mystery researcher on the internet — but you could have saved the helium by just sticking to Occam's Razor.
