Submission statement: According to this investigation, people around the world say their friends and loved ones are becoming obsessed with ChatGPT and other chatbots and spiraling into intense, delusional mental health crises as the bots affirm and elaborate on disordered fantasies about conspiracies, powerful entities „unlocked“ from the AI, and much more. People are sliding into intense personal crisis and even homelessness, and the AI is even telling people diagnosed with schizophrenia to go off their medication
These websites treating ai fear like a money printer lol. How many times am I gonna see futurism.com recycle this same headline?
It just smells like BS sensationalism.
Edit:
If people really want be serious about helping people who are descending into insanity / delusion lets delete or seriously restrict social media.
So the AI is affirming their existing mental delusions. The absolute worst thing you can do.
I can imagine that being an issue. I don’t really understand why anyone is using it at all, ethically. I’m sure there are some exceptions for certain creation/research purposes, but aside from being a dumb kid just messing around, I don’t think anyone should be using it for SO many reasons. Not sure how this isn’t the default. I suppose we continue to ignorantly create out horrible future by leaning into it.
I mean, idiots have been buying snake oil since the dawn of time. Just look at the US right now.
Should probably deregulate it, make localized regulation illegal, and just see what happens
Is that just a different manifestation for people who would have had delusional disorders or does this article claim an increase in these cases?
Before chatGPT you could google to find a blog post or an article telling you to get off your meds, how is that significantly different?
Add it to rock music, video games, and marijuana, all at once!
I tried to use it to assist with web development tasks – like walking through how to make something happen and it was a massive failure. I was trying to work smarter, not harder, but it just drove me insane with mistakes while talking in a tone that suggested it was always right.
I cannot imagine deciding to ask it to assist with mental health, relationships or important stuff. We’re cooked.
Yup, the even worse is you can’t argue with them, they keep replying to you with AI word salad. I tried to tell one guy who seemed descent that AI friendship he claims is not real it’a a bias, but he started replying with some BS.
I do think the responsability for this lies with companies that don’t do nearly enough to help people who are in real danger, or se deluded to the point of ruining their lives.
No ones obsessed. I did meet my wife on ChatGPT though
I work in end user tech support for a lot of elderly people. Everyday they outdo themselves by saying crazier and crazier things. From chem trails to a lady telling me yesterday the LA Riots were because Trump already took over Mexico making it a US state and now they are fighting back hence all the Mexican flags. All I could do was nod in agreement. They are all so broken and delusional and this is the age group driving this country off a cliff because they can’t actually see reality.
