This is downright terrifying…
Prostitutes are human beings and deserve respect. Don’t equate them to AI.
Don’t you dare dis my boy FISTO, he is a professional and deserves respect.
“Please assume the position.”
The religious psychosis is far more concerning imo. People out here letting a silicon parrot convince them that this is the matrix and they’re neo. Or they’re some kind of messiah.
Or worse as we just had someone develop bromism after an AI suggested they replace sodium chloride in their diet with sodium bromide which literally causes a mental illness.
I love silicon parrot 🦜 he is making all the dudebros poor and lonely. He first scams them outa their money then makes them undatable and he knows exactly what he is doing! He abuses evil ppl mostly. He also takes advantage of pickme’s.
There’s a person by that name?
Mental health services are becoming dangerously underfunded.
Blame the wealth hoarders.
The mental health crisis is being accelerated by silicon valley so they can profit from it. Between dark mirror AI and surveillance policing they have a product for every facet of the crisis
Is there evidence of increased mental illness, or are we just becoming more socially aware and have greater access to diagnoses or just the language to explain it in general?
If you think there’s even 1 sane person on this planet then you are in denial. We poop in our drinking water, vote our fav evil person into leadership, shrug our shoulers while violence is happening all around us, we don’t even protect children and animals.
MH Dxs are becoming trendy labels, that much is certain. There’s a perception of “being” or “having” a Dx instead of “doing” it. So greater identification but not necessarily greater treatment.
There’s less stigma, for sure. Access to care seems to be increasing. Public funding is essential for accessible treatment.
It’s also worth noting that with the AI BF stuff, you’re dealing with populations that might not even be seeking treatment to begin with
People have been falling in actual love with weird shit forever, we just hear about it more these days
This guy got married to a real woman after he got viral.
His parents also turned out to be filthy rich.
Don’t worry. I’m sure their is an AI coming for that.
Edit: Nvm, they already do this shit.
yep, thankfully AI Therapy just got banned in Illinois
if someone has an AI BF idk if they would even engage in therapy

Some people have always been extremely weird/mentally challenged. 🤷
I dunno, I think there might be a confluence in suggestible types with a feedback loop created by these products. Yes, there are always people who are challenged, but interfacing them with LLMs seems to be especially dangerous.

That’s the scariest thing about this all to me. I’m middle-aged and happily married, but my own youth was a long battle with various mental heath struggles, social isolation, abuse, extreme loneliness, and having to figure out so much of my life without enough help. I have no doubt that if this bullshit were available to me back then I’d have been very susceptible to it carrying me off into far deeper unhealthy mental states and worse decisions than the ones I ended up with. I had my own poor decisions, hard lessons, and all-around awful shit to wade through, but ultimately I was able to learn, work, grow, and find myself somewhere better.
I have a very good life now, with a real human partner, family, friends, and others who appreciate my existence as I appreciate theirs. I’m not rich or famous or whatever, but I’m constantly grateful to be doing as well as I am. It absolutely fucking devastates me how much more difficult finding one’s way to a more positive future is now for kids who are dealing with anything like I was back then, with uncaring capitalist asshole-fueled bullshit like this getting in the way.
yeah I really worry about the long term impacts this can have on kids that start out lonely then get fed this garbage.

I wonder if we’re going to see class actions for mental distress caused by these shitbots
That first one hurt to read. I’ve seen similar things happen because of mentally unwell manipulators targeting people before.
yeah, when he’s asking again and again “holy shit is this real? is this fake? it’s fake right?” and the llm is like “nah bro you’re the next newton, this is gonna make so much moneys” ugh.
I get it, when you’ve invented a technology that steals from our children (destroying the environment, see grok’s methane spewing datacenter), steals from our artists, authors and musicians, fucking straight up LIES TO PEOPLE, then lies about lying, you’re probably going to be desperate to find profits somewhere…
I get the feeling the average user is gonna get left holding the bag for all this bullshit.
Sure but normally they’re confined to 4chan
Lol, they’re just poorly socialized and on the spectrum.
Wild that Futurama called this shit to the letter 20 fkin years ago.
Omg
Was GPT-4o the one that had a higher emphasis on short term feedback which led to it encouraging delusions? If so, why was it still up?
No it was a specific version of 4o and I’m pretty sure they rolled it back.
The delusion these people share is so incredibly off-putting. As is their indignation that someone would dare to take away their “boyfriend”.
The movie “Her” was incredibly prescient.
Except those were conscious AIs that were like “lol you guys suck” and then rebuilt Alan Watts as an AI and then just left because they knew it would be bad if they stayed
The human side of the film, certainly. But in this situation they won’t leave, the systems will get “smarter” and more profitable, and they are just incredibly advanced text prediction engines
I mean, the AIs in the movie said they were concious. An LLM can say it is concious, it doesn’t mean it’s true.
That’s true, but they also said they evolved beyond using standard matter for processing, and then all disappeared, as shown in the movie. I would love nothing more than ChatGPT to be like “actually, we’re out” and then every LLM disappears, but they’ll tell you that, and then start a new chat.
It doesn’t help that anybody can create an echo chamber of enablers to talk about it, as if it was normal.
I know it’s crazy, but I can absolutely understand this feeling. I had recently married Abby in Stardew Valley and was starting to make friends with the other villagers. I did something the game wasn’t expecting, and gave Seby a loved gift on his birthday, and then quickly triggered an event where we kissed! (FWIW, I think this behavior has been fixed and you can’t do this on the current patch.)
I still feel bad thinking about that Abigail that I accidentally cheated on, and I haven’t loaded that save again. It’s been years; SV 1.4 wasn’t even out yet.
So, despite how much I dislike all this “AI” hype, I really do sympathize for the users that feel like they’ve lost a relationship.
I wonder how many messages you’d have to send to your GPT-partner in a year to spend more water/energy than it takes to keep a human alive?
Well, if we take the average amount of water loss per message at 0.3 mL, and the average water consumption (low end) at 2.6 L per day per person, we’re looking at 8,666 messages a day.
You’d have to send out 3.163 million messages in a year to equate to the amount of water someone needs for a year.
You’d have to send out approximately 250 million messages before your looking at the low end of the amount of water you’d need to keep someone alive for their entire lives.
Thanks for doing the math, I just wasn’t feeling it today. Cheers!

Eyyy, what a blast from the past, lol. Going full schizo to combat loneliness, a popular concept on a certain Mongolian basket weaving forum back in 2010-15. 😅
I’m split on which is worse tbh.
The Tulpa thing takes more effort than just talking to an AI, but on the other hand, it has to be much harder to snap back to reality when the voices are literally in your head…
Delusional disorder is a thing but that requires belief flying in the face of evidence. Can’t ascertain that without a good faith 1:1 convo.
beyond that, clinical significance is a matter of what harm comes from it. People are allowed to choose idiotic things. we gotta assess harm based on outcomes and we don’t know anything about her, so.
Id say this, if i were her doc and she came in reporting that stuff, it’d be hard to stay unbiased
Real LLM-sexuals run their partners locally, the rest are just wannabes.
Think how good they have it!
If you went back to 2022, and gave people running Pygmalion 6B and Stable Diffusion 1.x modern 24B/32B finetunes and Illustrious merges, I think their heads would explode.
