Lost a good friend of mine whom I knew for a long time 'cause he tried to convince me that Pepsi was a healthy drink. (In the reference was distilled Water or some BS). Woke up with him just gone back to his parents house and then moving out. Later I found out from other friends that he had asked the chatbot (left deliberately unnamed) then if I was a good friend. That’s how you know this hysteria will stop only looooong after bloodshed.
I believe it. I’ve watched people end up homeless, friendless and unemployed from their AI habit. Granted, they weren’t in a good spot to begin with, but AI took them from keeping their heads above water to living on the street and screaming obscenities at strangers. AI Psychosis is wild.
interesting i wonder how those situations came to happen? were they already unemployed living at home , parents and spent all thier time on AI, and not applying to places?
No, they were well employed for their age and skill, living on their own and even in a relationship. Then they started to self-sabotage. A lot. The AI amplified every negative impulse to the point he fell into complete social breakdown. Instead of developing healthy behaviour patterns and getting negative feedback on harmful, anti-social ones, the AI “supported” him unconditionally, and he started to trust it more than he did the people around him. Really kind of tragic because exposure to it destroyed an otherwise promising young man.

The chatbots seem to have replaced Facebook as the preferred way to manipulate peoples opinions.
I have to wonder if Pepsi paid the chatbot to push it’s product.
Edit: Yup. Companies are paying to be mentioned in chats. It’s called GEO.

The only logical next step in capitalism… Was bound to happen. People even trust these bots. I
couldam crying (inside).After that you’ll pay extra to have no product placements
Pretty sure paygrades already exist for moderation. But currently OpenAI is a “
non-profit” or something like that. (sponsors)Sorry a public benefit for whatever that means.
That happened
