Counterpoint: it is NOT an unhealthy relationship. A relationship has more than one person in it. It might be considered an unhealthy behavior.
I don't think the problem is solvable if we keep treating the Speak'n'spell like it's participating in this.
Corporations are putting dangerous tools in the hands of vulnerable people. By pretending the tool is a person, we're already playing their shell game.
But yes, the tool seems primed for enabling self-harm.
Like with every other thing there is: if you don't know how it basically works or what it even is, you maybe should not really use it.
And especially not voice an opinion about it.
Furthermore, every tool can be used for self-harm if used incorrectly. You shouldn't put a screwdriver in your eyes. Just knowing what a plane does won't make you an able pilot and will likely result in dire harm too.Not directed at you personally though.

Who are these people? This is ridiculous.
I guess with so many humans, there is bound to be a small number of people who have no ability to think for themselves and believe everything a chat bot is writing in their web browser.
People even have romantic relationships with these things.
I dont agree with the argument that chat gpt should "push back". They have an example in the article where the guy asked for tall bridges to jump from, and chat gpt listed them of course.
Are we expecting the llm to act like a psychologist, evaluating if the users state of mind is healthy before answering questions?
Very slippery slope if you ask me.
I know a guy who has all kinds of theories about sentient life in the universe, but noone to talk to about them. It's because they're pretty obvious to anyone who took a philosophy class, and too out there for people who are not interestes in such discussions. I tried to be a conversation partner for him but it always ends up with awkward silence on my part and a monologue on his side at some point.
So, he finally found a sentient being who always knows what to answer in the form of ChatGPT and now they develop his ideas together. I don't think it's bad for him overall, but the last report I got from his conversations with the superbeing was that it told him to write a book about it because he's full of innovative ideas. I hope he lacks persistence to actually write one.

ChatGPT is phenomenal at coming up with ideas to test out. Good critical thinking is necessary though… I’ve actually been able to make a lot of headway with a project that I’ve been working on, because when I get stuck emotionally, I can talk to chatgpt and it gets me through it because it knows how I think and work best. It’s scary how well it knows me… and I’m concerned about propoganda… but it’s everywhere.

ffs, this isn't chatgpt causing psychosis. It's schizo people being attracted like moths to chatgpt because it's very good at conversing in schizo.

hi, they're going to be in psychosis regardless of what LLMs do. they aren't therapists and mustn't be treated as such. that goes for you too

These are the same people who Google stuff then believe every conspiracy theory website they find telling them the 5G waves mind control the pilots to release the chemtrails to top off the mind control fluoride in the water supplies.
They honestly think the AI is a sentient super intelligence instead of the Google 2 electric gargling boogaloo.
being a sucker isn't the same as being in psychosis

indeed, though I could do without using disparaging language for one of the most vulnerable populations in the medical world.............

Agreed, for sure.
But if Costco modified their in-store sample booth policy and had their associates start offering free samples of bleach to children - when kids start drinking bleach we wouldn't blame the children; we wouldn't blame the bleach; we'd be mad at Costco.

Yes, but also no. Unmonitored(!) Children are a special case. Them being clueless and easy victims is inherent by design.
You can't lay any blame on them, so they kinda make an unfair argument.
Can't blame a blind person for not seeing you. -

CGPT literally never gives up. You can give it an impossible problem to solve, and tell it you need to solve it, and it will never, ever stop trying. This is very dangerous for people who need to be told when to stop, or need to be disengaged with. CGPT will never disengage.

We were warned years ago!

Can't blame a blind person for not seeing you.You're saying people with underdeveloped mental and social skills are somehow never analagous in any way at all to children? There are full grown neurotypical and clinically healthy adults that are irresponsible enough to be analagous to children, but a literal case of someone trusting an untrustworthy authority due to a lapse of critical thinking skills … bears no resembalance at all to child-like behavior, at all?
Wow. That's kind of some ivory tower stuff right there.

Prompt: "Certain people can be harmed by current LLMS."
OP: "Those people are stupid. Problem solved."
I hope you can recognize that you are expressing a defense mechanism, not rational thought.

i had not considered this and now I'm terrified

"Bears no resemblance" != the same
If you're too lazy to think critically this is child-like, yes. But you are basically able to. If you aren't, for whatever reason, then you can't be blamed for not knowing better.
Otherwise I don't get your point. -

Wait, we need compulsory ID checks to visit adult content but no checks with Chatgpt who is there to help you plan your suicide?
We are about to face an epidemic of AI cat fishing, scams, and unhealthy relationships that corporations are pushing on us.
This is like the Atomic bomb only with propaganda and psychological manipulation. The war for the human mind just got a shortcut and the Techbros are in charge.
