Thank god he's a psychiatrist. I'd be worried if just a random person knew 12 people hospitalized for AI Psychosis.

[–] sundray@lemmus.org 24 points 1 month ago (3 children)

If he had a nickel for every person he knew hospitalized for AI Psychosis he'd have sixty cents!

[–] jordanlund@lemmy.world 11 points 1 month ago

As the doctor, I'm sure he got more than nickles. :)

If he had a dime for every one, he’d have $1.20!

Wow! If I had a nickel for every time I met someone who had AI psychosis. I'd have sixty cents-- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened six times. Right?

It's amazing and scary how some people can be convinced and manipulated through flattery.

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 36 points 1 month ago (1 children)

But not you. You're way smarter and cooler than those schmucks.

[–] Ilovethebomb@sh.itjust.works 12 points 1 month ago (2 children)

I'm disappointed that at least two people have missed the joke and downvoted you.

[–] teft@piefed.social 14 points 1 month ago (2 children)

There is a small subset of users on the fediverse who are just bitter downvoting asshole. There’s no pleasing everyone.

I acknowledge that I have upset you. Please accept my most humble apology. Also fuck you.

[–] samus12345@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 month ago

That pleases me. Bless you.

They also just don't do jokes, satire, or sarcasm.

And you've got an amazing sense of humour too. You're awesome. ^Your^ ^credit^ ^card^ ^details^

They figured out how to manipulate us by experimenting on us without our consent via social media algorithms, and now, it's supercharged.

At least for yourself, scrutinize anything you use GenAI to produce, because there won't be any meaningful regulation of AI here in the US.

Getting rid of the extreme sycophancy bias isn’t a solution. But it would soften this.

Musk and righty AI Bros are shit, yet there’s a grain of truth in their railing about censorship: blunt, task focused generations (or whatever the particular AI does) are much healthier than a chatbot bending over backwards to tell you what you want to hear. The local ML community has known this for a while, yet LLMs keep getting more deep fried and user pleasing because that’s what they’re being reinforced to do.

Another great thing would be a half assed attempt to indicate ChatGPT is basically roleplaying in the chat UI. But no…

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Not a terrible idea, shift the color of the chatbox to represent "just kidding" or even "just guessing". Might have to suggest that to the local open source guys.

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 10 points 1 month ago (2 children)

On second thought, it wouldn't work. LLMs don't have intent.

[–] loutr@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah, they're always "just guessing"

[–] brucethemoose@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

It should basically always be on for multi turn chats, heh. It doesn’t need to determine anything, other than if it’s generating code or structured output, maybe.

But hey bro, beware the GAMES. bwahahaha
