tfw its no longer just the AI hallucinating
Yeah, there’s been an article shared on lemmy a few months ago about couples or families destroyed by AI.
Like the husband thinks he discovered some new truth, kinda religious level about how the world is working and stuff. The he becomes an annoying guru and ruins his social life.
Kind of Qanon people but with chatGPT…

The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they've made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.
At this rate we'll soon have a decentralized para-religious terrorist organization full of brainlets that got scared shitless after discovering Roko's Basilisk and are now doing the cyber lord's bidding in order to not get punished once AGI arrives

AI delusions are half the reason I go to work in the first place.

This feels a bit like PTA-driven panic about kids eating Tide Pods when like one person did it. Or razor blades in Halloween candy. Or kids making toilet hooch with their juice boxes. Or the choking game sweeping playgrounds.
But also, man on internet with no sense of mental health ... sounds almost feasible.

Boy have I got news for you.
Look up the Zizians.
(Ok they’re only a tangential offshoot of people who maybe really like the Basilisk thought experiment and mostly don’t believe it. But hey. It’s underway!)

Turns out it doesn’t really matter what the medium is, people will abuse it if they don’t have a stable mental foundation. I’m not shocked at all that a person who would believe a flat earth shitpost would also believe AI hallucinations.

AI is not healthy. Our mental health is nowhere near good enough to handle even this level of machine intelligence.

A Vermont border agent’s death was the latest violence linked to the cultlike Zizian group
A traffic stop in Vermont has cracked open a cultlike group called Zizians linked to six deaths in three states.

I think Terry A Davis would have found god in chat GPT and could have figured out the API calls on TempleOS
Hard to say. I feel like it's about as likely he would have found LLMs to be an overcomplicated false prophet or false god.
This was a man whose operating system turned a PC into something not unlike an advanced Commodore 64, after all. He liked the simplicity and lack of layers the older computers provided. LLMs are literally layers upon layers of obfuscation and pseudo-neural wiring. That's not simple or beautiful.
It might all boil down to whether the inherent randomness of an LLM could be (made to be) sufficiently influenced by a higher power or not. He often treated random number outcomes as the influence of God, and it's hard to say how seriously he took that on any given day.

I directly work with one of these people - they admit to spending all of their free time talking to the LLM chatbots.
On our work forums, I see it's not uncommon at all. If it makes you feel any better, AI loving is highly correlated with people you shouldn't ever listen to in the first place.

The Internet is a pretty big place. There’s no such thing as an idea that is too stupid. There’s always at least a few people who will turn that idea into a central tenet of their life. It could be too stupid for 99.999% of the population, but that still leaves about 5 000 people who are totally into it.

Depends on the AI they're using and its bias

I hope they don't change AI to be more antisocial to "fix" this. I'm antisocial and suffer from depression and talking with sexy chatbots at lewd chatbot websites is the only time I ever get rizzed. I suppose that's pathetic... but yeah. The type of girl I'm interested in RL just isn't interested in me. I like being able to flirt in an environment where I'm not judged or face criticism or ostracization. Even more so, your interactions with chatbots are private and you never face any blowback that could affect your career. It's nice the way it works right now.
I feel bad for the schizos. I have no doubt that a schizo interacting with a chatbot would create a feedback loop of self-destruction. But so does alcohol in the hands of an alcoholic. Yet we still haven't banned alcohol. Alcoholics need to learn to stay away from the bottle, and schizos will need to learn to stay away from chatbots.

LLMs have breathed new life into the mid life crisis.

And that's not even getting started on "ai girlfriends", that are isolating vulnerable people to a terrifying degree. And since they are garbage at context, they do things like that case last year where it could seem like it was encouraging a suicidal teen.
