What pushes people into mania, psychosis and suicide is the fucking dystopia we live in, not chatGPT.

It is definitely both:

ChatGPT and other synthetic text extruding bots are doing some messed up shit with people’s brains. Don’t be an Ai apologist.

ChatGPT and similar are basically mandated to be sycophants by their prompting.

Wonder if some of these AIs didn't have such strict instructions, if they'd call out user bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Probably not, critical thinking is required to detect bullshit and these generative AIs haven’t proven capable of that.

Fair point, but I'll raise the counter argument that they were trained with a lot of internet data, where people slapping each other is the norm, and that seems suspiciously absent from AI interactions...
