Somebody needs to hug that person. If they're going to a robot for comfort...

People are keyed up and do not have emotional regulation skills. This is a failure of society.

We make fun of them for their β€œfake” emotional support animals, their public panic attacks and for their attempts at discreet electronic emotional support. This is also a failure of society.

That guy trying to make it through his fight is not the reason the earth or humans are doomed.

Why couldn't he clap like normal people.

He was too busy immediately leaping up from his seat in the back row to stand up

I know that looks dumb but I find it painful to sit for long periods of time and they don't let you be stand around on the plane. I always get an aisle seat so that I can stand as soon as it lands. I know I'm not going anywhere for awhile but I can't sit any longer.

If enough people don't show their gratitude by clapping, the pilot will put the fucking thing into the side of a mountain

Person was smart, has job to erase web history in case of no landing confirmation

if only this could have been a deterministic script

Some are. Those of us who maintain our own cognitive skills will one day be forced to care for these lost deluded idiots.

One day?

It’s kind of sad. Person is very alone it seems

[–] gwulgg@lemmy.zip 17 points 5 days ago (1 children)

I don’t think it’s just this. These people aren’t all so lonely they turn to a chatbot for everything. Sure, some are. A fair portion of them though are just malignant narcissists who love the praise and fawning an AI will heap on them

Look, I have to say, I hate AI as much as the next guy, but as someone with ADHD, GPT was a godsend when I was traveling SE Asia. I used it as a talking companion to kind of get my bearings and have "someone" register where I was and what I was doing, so I could just quickly ask it, "hey, where the am I and what the hell am I doing" and get a prompt reply.

I am fully aware of the political and ecological consequences of employing this technology, and I believe that the whole issue is proper regulation, rather than the tech itself. AI is doing insane things in science, and it has clear and, quite frankly, profound uses for mankind. As always, the problem is who controls it, for what purposes, if it can be used as a weapon, and if so how we can go about making international laws about its use- like we did with nuclear weapons.

Nuclear physics have the capacity to end us all at a moments notice, and it also provides electricity for billions of homes. Like with any tech, it will never go away once the genie is out of the bottle, we just must strive to disempower those who seek to weaponize it for death or profit.

I think that even if this particular instance may be real or not, is clearly that AI psychosis is way more prevalent than what people may think at first glance.

What I don't get with the LLMs is the peoples willingness to suddenly feeding it with their most intimate thoughts, that has now became a new fire-hose of data to exploit them.

It's like the google incognito meme but on steroids. You can now ask anything you ever wanted and not be immediately ridiculed. Except, this is not true or hold up in the long run.

spoilerThose that think I'm anti-AI. It's a tool. Use it wrong, and you break things. In this case a psyche.

[–] Seasm0ke@lemmy.world 27 points 5 days ago (6 children)

Had an LLM tell me when brainstorming an issue to 'try x y z and talk to me the whole time' like it was a 911 operator. creepy as hell especially considering I interact with it like the computer on star trek and not like a digital friend.

I pit together a risks and realities training for users new to AI that highlights the ways it manipulates you with language to bias you towards its output or performance. Its pretty eye opening for many. Did a dry run with a professional development group and there are a lot of old ladies worried about their son or grandkids AI psychosis.

My friend did that! It pissed me off so bad. She was on a stuck train in the station on the subway in New York and talked to chatgpt about what to do, and then for some reason sent me screenshots of it afterward? Girl just get off the train

[–] starelfsc2@sh.itjust.works 11 points 5 days ago (8 children)

LLMs literally reduce our problem solving capabilities as we use them more. Even if the problems are "easy," we still lose that muscle and have to rely on the llm more and more.

The revolution will be done with pen, paper, books, old analog pirate FM stations and some other things because the opposition will be too stupid to do anything to counter those. Protect your books, people.

Twitter is fake and gay

Lemmites now

OMG THIS SINGLE X POST MUST BE REAL BECAUSE IT CONFIRMS MY WORLD VIEW

[–] NoneOfUrBusiness@fedia.io 17 points 5 days ago (4 children)

I mean to be fair people having parasocial relationships with AI is absolutely a thing. The post could be lying, but it's well within the realm of possibility.

Me normally: "AI is here to stay, we just should make corporations to charge the true price for them!"

Me after reading about stuff like this: "We need a Butlerian Jihad, yesterday!"

I mean, for all you know he had an agent set up to take that queue and send personalized messages to his spouse, boss, and mistress in his current town, letting them all know of his arrival.

[–] ArmoredThirteen@lemmy.zip 20 points 5 days ago (1 children)

It probably would have gotten confused and sent an NDA doc to their mistress, a nude of that kink they've never admitted to to their wife, and a "sorry I'll be home late my cunt of a boss is calling me in immediately" to their boss

it's very important to update your AI context, so that the next time you crank the handle it can issue platitudes that resemble relief upon your safe trip.

[–] antitomi@sopuli.xyz 7 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

It's funny how we are all so starved for recognition, understanding, and reassurance, that we are willing to take it wherever it comes from. Like dogs. We are like complex dogs.
