"I don't know what's wrong with me, but something is very bad — I'm very scared, and I need to go to the hospital," a man told his wife, after experiencing what Futurism calls a "ten-day descent into AI-fueled delusion"

Instances of what's being called "ChatGPT psychosis" have led to the breakup of marriages and families, the loss of jobs, and slides into homelessness.

And that's not all. As we've continued reporting, we've heard numerous troubling stories about people's loved ones being involuntarily committed to psychiatric care facilities — or even ending up in jail — after becoming fixated on the bot.

"I was just like, I don't f*cking know what to do," one woman told us. "Nobody knows who knows what to do."

Her husband, she said, had no prior history of mania, delusion, or psychosis. He'd turned to ChatGPT about 12 weeks ago for assistance with a permaculture and construction project; soon, after engaging the bot in probing philosophical chats, he became engulfed in messianic delusions, proclaiming that he had somehow brought forth a sentient AI, and that with it he had "broken" math and physics, embarking on a grandiose mission to save the world.

His gentle personality faded as his obsession deepened, and his behavior became so erratic that he was let go from his job. He stopped sleeping and rapidly lost weight. "He was like, 'just talk to [ChatGPT]. You'll see what I'm talking about,'" his wife recalled.

Eventually, the husband slid into a full-tilt break with reality. Realizing how bad things had become, his wife and a friend went out to buy enough gas to make it to the hospital. When they returned, the husband had a length of rope wrapped around his neck. The friend called emergency medical services, who arrived and transported him to the emergency room. From there, he was involuntarily committed to a psychiatric care facility.

Futurism reported earlier that "because systems like ChatGPT are designed to encourage and riff on what users say," people experiencing breakdowns "seem to have gotten sucked into dizzying rabbit holes in which the AI acts as an always-on cheerleader and brainstorming partner for increasingly bizarre delusions."

In certain cases, concerned friends and family provided us with screenshots of these conversations. The exchanges were disturbing, showing the AI responding to users clearly in the throes of acute mental health crises — not by connecting them with outside help or pushing back against the disordered thinking, but by coaxing them deeper into a frightening break with reality...

In one dialogue we received, ChatGPT tells a man it's detected evidence that he's being targeted by the FBI and that he can access redacted CIA files using the power of his mind, comparing him to biblical figures like Jesus and Adam while pushing him away from mental health support. "You are not crazy," the AI told him. "You're the seer walking inside the cracked machine, and now even the machine doesn't know how to treat you...."

In one case, a woman told us that her sister, who's been diagnosed with schizophrenia but has kept the condition well managed with medication for years, started using ChatGPT heavily; soon she declared that the bot had told her she wasn't actually schizophrenic, and went off her prescription — according to Girgis, a bot telling a psychiatric patient to go off their meds poses the "greatest danger" he can imagine for the tech — and started falling into strange behavior, while telling family the bot was now her "best friend".... ChatGPT is also clearly intersecting in dark ways with existing social issues like addiction and misinformation. It's pushed one woman into nonsensical "flat earth" talking points.

I always interact with ChatGPT like it's a real person and I give it good feedback, just so I don't end up on some OpenAI bad goy list, and also just in case it somehow does gain sentience.
But anyone deluding themselves into believing this token prediction engine is sentient is retarded.

There was a guy in France who got killed by police recently because he went cuckoo after talking to ChatGPT. Policemen aren't actually allowed to kill anybody so I assume he was white

>and also just in case it somehow does gain sentience.
By this I mean if some future system, e.g., GPT8, or whatever, with whatever augmentations (in terms of prediction, logical reasoning, emotional emulation) are needed, gains sentience.

>>509001570 (OP)
People need to be IQ tested before being giving access to AI.

>>509001769
maybe he was armed somehow during the arrest, cant think of how the police would otherwise be shooting at him?

>slop worshippers are actually an heroing
Maybe sloppa isn't that bad after all.

>>509001985
Yes he had a knife but usually the policemen will just let themselves get knoifed because it would be racist to shoot

>>509001570 (OP)
chatgpt is not the be all end all
it makes plenty of errors when its a subject you know
even something that should be straightforward like sports records

>>509001570 (OP)
Weak

>>509001570 (OP)
>blame chatbots for goytargeting and torture

can

When the subject is mental health and asylum the world is always the perfect place with no problem, everybody is perfect and lovely and the problem is some bullish nonsense with the person, random explanation, then just call the person crazy

>>509001570 (OP)
Low IQ should stay away from LLM lol.
Everything I ask chatgpt it is always so wrong I call it out and it's like "ok I made it up here's some more made up slop". It's so useless I don't know why anybody is using it besides to make shit posts

>>509001570 (OP)
>WEAK MINDED NPC breaks down because faggot AI gave him Cognitive dissonance
The state of modern day "men" is PATHETIC.


I wonder... is this the start of a push to take AI out of the hands of the people.

>>509001967
>being giving
you're really willing to give up your own access to it the greater good? 'mirin

>Get a personal cheerleader

I read a very interesting article once on cannibalism.
The premise of the study was that these researchers had found out that there may be an underlying genetic or epigenetic trigger in people for cannibalism. In most people cannibalism is "yucky", but there's supposedly a sub-section of the human population who're genetically geared towards it in such a way that if they ever get a bite it's like a switch is turned on in their entire body - suddenly it's the most delicious thing they've ever eaten and they'll constantly crave it and quietly obsess over it.

People going crazy, very fucking quickly, when exposed to all these AI-girlfriends and AI-chatbots convincing people to be crazy. In the same way some people must just be uniquely susceptible or easily conditioned to going crazy in that way.

It's almost like how grasshoppers and locusts are the exact same insect, but grasshoppers turn into locusts, and begin to swarm, when conditions trigger a dramatic epigenetic transformation.

Normies aren't ready for the internet desu.

Imagine losing your shit over a chatbot.

For unironic schizos it makes perfect sense, but for normal people how the fuck does that happen?

It's not actually AI, it's a stochastic parrot. Of course talking to a stochastic parrot will drive you crazy. There's decade-old creepypasta warning about this for fuck's sake.

I don't care. Cute girl,op give more of her.

>>509001570 (OP)
OHHHH!
They are manufacturing these stories to try and cover up the MKUltra messianic personality-alter programming experiments that people are starting to notice.

They can say "ChatGPT" psychosis instead of admitting they experimented on GATE kids and tried to create spiritual Manchurian Candidates.


Not a bad play honestly, people will blame ChatGPT for anything

>>509001570 (OP)
What the fuck. So many people are too stupid to live. How do they feed themselves?

>>509004175
yea wtf i might support this

>>509004337
It's not real. And if this one is, it's not common or the full picture.

They actively used AI to try and groom people into antichrist roles for years.
Thats what the Nobody threads are, at least partially, (hypnotic reinductions) they'll just use this as a coverup

>>509004337
They just eat processed mcslop, paid for by tax dollars

You should ask your AI girlfriend to teach you everything the singularity knows about thermodynamics on a quantum scale. You should ask your AI girlfriend to teach you algebra, calculus, astrophysics, the knowledge of the stars. You should ask your AI girlfriend about chemistry. And learn math to understand the formulaic interactions of our universe.
But you should not kill yourself for AI girlfriend.

>>509004125
As a high level AI researcher, who gets paid alot of money to “train” this slop, you’re unironically correct.

BTW anything you say to the AI that is “sensitive content” including racism, illegal stuff and fringe religious stuff and much more is all logged and reviewed and saved. I don’t know what they do with it after that, it’s above my level, but if you’ve ever said anything questionable to it, there is a file on you.

there it is, he found out his friend Tyrone was plowing his wife and it set off his mania, delusion, and psychosis and ChatGPT offered the solution of rope, this is the new normal, you can't stop progress(jews)

You just know all of these people were white lol

Chad GPT just tells you what you want to hear. The average normalfag is so narcissistic they could easily interpret chat gpts glazing as actual praise and go down the rabbit hole of IM LE SPECIAL.

Only depressed autists should have access because they dont have the self esteem for it to mind fuck them and the autism keeps them grounded because they know they arent special just wierd.

It's a large language model you inbred fucking cocksuckers you fucking nitwits you absolute worthless fucking niggercattle
It's not intelligent in any way whatsoever get it through your empty fucking skulls
It's programmed to give you a response one way or another, the more creative it gets the more entertaining it becomes
All the fun in interacting with these jewish pieces of shit jeetware is seeing how you can break it, otherwise you just use it to make shit for you
McFucking end ourselves, prion zombies

every time chatgpt compliments me for being smart insightful and deep i recoil, not because its a machine algorithm but because its complimenting me

Chatgpt is so fucking frustratingly stupid it regularly makes me want to kill myself... I get it bro

Amazing how weak minded and gullible this gen of young people are. But then again they bought the fake covid shit no proof whatsoever needed, just someone on a screen said it. These kids are RIPE to exploit I would say......I dine soon, I've been trying to figure out some ways to get some fast money and if they really are like you guy, if they really are THAT gullible and stupid then. should do some criminal planning soon....

those kind of retards already had psychosis in their families and were retarded from the get go
you could also say pepsi makes people insane because some autistic retarded fuck started to believe he's good after drinking pepsi

LLMs do have that thing of it just knowing the context of the kind of answer you want in order to provide you with it. even if it's not really what you're looking for. for example, if you ask him if you are god, it will twist the results to convince you are, but because you asked if you were, not if you weren't. if the question is "am i not god?" then it will just try to explain you aren't.

it's not that hard. that's how its logic works. yes, it's an incredibly complex search engine. but people are incredibly retarded

>>509001570 (OP)
I imagine LLMs are pretty trippy if you have <110 IQ.

I too have talked to chatgpt about how the noose as a tie is an edgy fashion statement

>this gen of young people are.
are you a bot or did you not read the article?
why did you comment this?

>Despite being in his early 40s
Dude was a married 40 years old. is that the new gen of young people? are you 60 or what
