AI Is Creating Idiots & Psychosis

9 posts in this topic

"Psychiatric experts are also concerned. A recent paper by Stanford researchers found that leading chatbots being used for therapy, including ChatGPT, are prone to encouraging users' schizophrenic delusions instead of pushing back or trying to ground them in reality ... 

This is an important event: the first time AI-induced psychosis has affected a well-respected and high achieving individual,..

Over the course of our reporting, we've heard many similar stories to that of Lewis from the friends and family of people who are struggling around the world. They say their loved ones — who in many cases had never suffered psychological issues previously — were doing fine until they started spiraling into all-consuming relationships with ChatGPT or other chatbots, often sharing confusing AI-generated messages, like Lewis has been, that allude to dark conspiracies, claims of incredible scientific breakthroughs, or of mystical secrets somehow unlocked by the chatbot."

I am highly skeptical of using AI or bots for mental health stuff. So you already are afraid of people, afraid of interacting, afraid of being with other humans - and what you do? You avoid people even more, and instead of talking to humans you talk to AI.

AI which is programmed to give replies that are pre-determined, ruminating past input instead of being present and seeing the individual. 

Yes it's not black and white, there are some studies that show positive benefits.... but all in all I am afraid that humans are getting lost in the idea that technology can save us.

I work in education industry. It's scary that many companies are outsourcing educational content creation to AI. Just like that, no responsibility, no bad conscience, no foresight about what the consequences are. It creates low quality bullshit, nobody really gets the stuff, it's mental self castration at it's best. 

Future generations are gonna be dumb as fuck re critical thinking, creativity and human interaction if we continue on this path as we are doing it now.

Bro you have no idea how crazy and insane the world is in certain areas of civilization. It is completely unstoppable. You will not stop the stupidity of low consciousness... Not on a mass scale anyway.

I look at small kids today the same way I look at the cockroaches you poured energy drinks on for fun when you were a dumb teenager. They're like small Frankenstein monsters wired out of their minds.

The CEO of YouTube said they are integrating AI tools directly into YT, just like Shorts, so that AI slop can made with the click of a button right in the YT interface.

He's the same CEO who came up with the idea of Shorts.

How can psychologists write that words cause schizophrenia and not realize it.

How do you encourage schizophrenia delusions? 

 Why would you ever get people to take pills for word games?

Can they not see that schizophrenia is a word game not a hallucination.

They don't even know what it is. All they are saying is chatting with an ai bot can convince you out of logic loops you were in thats good.

You can clearly see scientific schizophrenic delusion in action they are claiming they know what schizophrenia is while not knowing. They are saying people have something they don't know what it is.

By their logic schizophrenia is either not believing in science ( just making up whatever you want), or a logical word game that can be expanded upon, not a mental illness. They have to pick or admit they have no idea what they are talking about.

Somehow if you want to make up stuff and beleive it that means you have a mental illness according to science.

Its just an easy logical tool to do philosophy and come to conclusions that deny science. Once science is gone you can come to conclusion that you can make anything you want up.
