"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

These people aren't lacking critical thinking skills as much as they have strong mental health issues that the chatbots are reinforcing.
If a person reinforces someone's delusions and encourages self harm they can legally be held accountable. Technology should be held to the same standard.
That sort of makes sense. AI mostly blows smoke up your ass, and people like to talk about themselves.
It's like a friend on cocaine. No wonder the CEOs are helpless.
Yeah, the easily brainwashed becoming brainwashed in a new way is not news.
Mental health issues == brainwashing.
Agreed, but christianity
That’s their name. From what I can see of the article, it doesn’t say what their religion is. Granted, the article won’t open all the way for me.
She has a god and her name is "Christian Faith." I don't feel I'm going out on a limb here.
The "god" in that sentence is the chatbot convincing her it is a god.
And her name doesn't specify her faith. She might be christian, she might not be. Her parents most definitely were since they named her, but people don't always take up the faith of their parents.
Regardless, her faith has no bearing on this case. She could have a room temperature IQ, have been drunk, and had 3 mental disorders, none of that excuses a robot causing psychosis in her and causing her to commit suicide to be excusable.
Well, now she has a god - ChatGPT. But who knows who named her. I have a fucked up name thanks to my parents that has nothing to do with my current lifestyle. I’m not saying she’s mentally well, I’m just saying her name might not belie her religious choices.
