You think there are mental health problems now? The more AI takes people’s jobs, the worse mental health problems we’ll see.
I still remember when computers took everyone’s jobs. Suprised there are any left.
Was this before or after the robots that took everybody’s jobs?
The great water wars opened up a lot of jobs. I was a blood bag for a while, good dental plan but worked outdoors way too often.
Hey a buck is a buck, why do you hate America?
/sCan anyone give me a tldr on how LLMs are linked to mental health breakdowns?
People get attached to a machine with no emotions, no morals, no ability to think before it speaks. A 14 year old boy killed himself because his AI girlfriend told him to. An LLM doesn’t know what’s okay and what’s abuse. A person’s heart doesn’t know it either.
There was a spate of news articles recently about AI feeding people’s delusions to the point that they start thinking they’re the chosen one, emphasising that it was happening to people with no prior history of mental health issues. It was supposedly linked to an update to ChatGPT that made it even more sycophantic than usual.
It’s a mix of sensationalist media and moral panic with just a hint of truth IMO. If people can fall for scams, pseudoscience, and conspiracy theories then they can definitely get pushed off the deep end by an AI saying “yes and” to their every thought.
Oh shit, AI is evolving by natural selection. There’s a feedback loop of how people interact and training the data.
