The thing is you don't have to use it personally, other people will use it for you and present it to you, possibly without you knowing it. AI bot accounts, AI news stories, AI art and so on. It is already a big part of the internet and it will continue to increase regardless of whether we personally use AI or not.
Yeah but I'm pretty sure reading AI news stories will not give me psychosis.

Yeah, wafflewarrior’s description of AI is hugely problematic and is the exact reason why people are falling into this crap. AI is literally the antithesis of mental exercising.
This simply isn't true. In fact If you use it correctly the ability to learn things and use your brain is expanded 10 fold. The human brain is cranked to max speed when it comes to processing the sheer amount of Information it gets thrown at it in seconds via AI. When used correctly it can enhance one's ability to learn about all types of things.

Seriously, using something devoid of thought as "a sparring partner for your thoughts" seems to me like it's a serious entry point to losing one's grip.
Especially since the behaviour of those machines is steered by large corporations whose only goal is to get your ressources, be it money, skill or attention.
The only other thing that fascinated me more in regards to AI and psychosis that can develop .....is the phenomenon of people not liking AI simply for the sake of not liking it.
I get it, I'm a hipster too, but when people purposely decide to morph into Will Smith from I Robot for no reason....it's just silly

With how so many services are forcing it upon us, I'd have to disagree.
It's also getting to be a bit of a chore to block AI elements on all the various websites implementing them, and a few of the worst offenders (Google is one that I know does this) add a random string of characters on the element that serve as a unique identifier that periodically changes and so requires me to readd them to my UBO blocklist. On each device...
It is the most effective solution for sure, though.

Does ubo accept css selectors? Css has syntax for "match element that starts with, ends with, or contains, this string"
Attribute selectors - CSS | MDN
The CSS attribute selector matches elements based on the element having a given attribute explicitly set, with options for defining an attribute value or substring value match.

Dunno, I'd have to investigate this later. Thanks for the info!

That's what i always think when i read things like that. "Facebook is invading our privacy, same as instagram, and there is nothing we can do."
Idk man, not using it is pretty easy actually.
Oh but Facebook tracks you regardless of you having an account with them. Half of Android phones come with facebooks telemetry built into them, all those like and share buttons on websites/blogs, also tracking you.

Now i need to know who wins.
None of you, that's for sure.

This post did not contain any content.
Yes. Every time a Republican makes a post on social media I'm a victim of AI Psychosis.

All who argue in the interwebs are potential victims honestly. And those who argue with them, even if only IRL. How do you tell which news, which discourses and which commenters are bots (or repeat after bots, or consult bots)?
In addition to this, I was just thinking about how many kids are asking questions to LLM's that just a few years ago they would have asked friends or their parents or a mentor. A whole generation that will be used to taking advice from a black-box LLM.

Ye-es, we'll see a good test of humanity's ability to adapt. Either it delivers, or it ends right in the following decades, because its survival is based on a much subtler process than people controlling these technologies can conceive. It's all the time of evolution and its volume of entropy spent on optimization versus like 40 years of computer programmers deciding they know how it all should be done, just have to pass through the resistance. The latter is a drop in the sea. It can't realistically be anything but a threat.
