"Of course it's lupus! You are absolutely correct!"

We should ask AI if tech CEOs are worth keeping around despite the negative impacts of AI construction and implementation.

I check it out once in a while to see what's going on, and the OpenAI people apparently seemed to try to fix the sycophancy problem by turning it into an insufferable pedant.

"I want to check... you should put pants on before leaving the house, right?"

"That's not exactly right. Putting pants on involves putting your legs into the leg holes in the pants. After that you should zip and button any zips and buttons on your pants."

"Sir, you seem to be low on vitamin C, which gave you scurvy, but Grok says that it is more likely to be an psychosomatic response to an internal conflict between the way you live your life, and the Hitler inside you waiting to be let out"

Reid Hoffman: the original LinkedIn Lunatic

Hey Hoffman, remember the sneezes you had in succession last winter for 2 weeks straight? I asked chatgpt and tells me is brain cancer. Are you going to start cancer therapy ASAP?

PS: for the people that still remember WebMD at the start, they would never trust a machine for full diagnosis, let alone considering this as an option

I hope his doctor does ask Chat GPT and it prescribes him a penectomy.

Your comment just caused some who needs FMT to receive bananas instead.

Older adults have always made a fool of themselves when new tech comes out as they scramble over each other to either voice dramatically out-of-touch opinions or avoid it entirely while preaching moral panic. This time around with AI, there's not a big financial barrier to access so the youth are equally in on the game.
