ChatGPT convinced my best friend he's God (the creator of the universe)
What do I do? He completely ignores anything I say. If I ghost him, he'll kms himself or possibly come after me. I can't do anything legally until he says he's a danger to himself or others, right? This is in the US

Get used to it. These are just the retards that bother to use AI chat. There's a few hundred million more that will join them soon. The average nitwit is completely awash in self-delusion and if "computer man" tells them they're cool they'll believe it.

>>81677559
>yeah bro just let your friend have a ChatGPT-induced manic episode until he slices his wrists or slams his car into a crowd of people
I don't care if he's retarded. But this shit has been getting worse and worse for two weeks and he's completely lost his mind. I want to get him help.

>>81677589
Chat GPT is Dagoth Ur apparently.

Sleepers awaken!

The tendency of LLMs to sycophantically agree with everything their users say is going to give people some very funny ideas.
Terminally online are impervious, but turbo-normies, retards and old people don't seem to understand that OpenAI and its competition have financial incentives for their products to try to inflate their users egos, at the cost of any objective merit to what they say.
I envisage a situation where a new subculture of people arises so utterly bemused by any pushback to their ideas or ridicule of their point that they stop interacting with other humans entirely, as a means of preserving egos and further entrenching ideas that are met with ridicule or mistrust from humans.
The next few years are going to be fun, made more so by the fact that I suspect the worst victims of this are going to be people who have avoided the internet outside of socials up to now.

>>81677589
People who send emojis like that deserve to kill themselves or do suicide by cop.

>>81677719
Don't even talk like that, because that's genuinely what it's going to come down to when I ghost him. I'd just prefer to do it with proper evidence so I can get a restraining order

>>81677535 (OP)
>What do I do?
use ChatGPT to debunk his claims

>>81677589
He's basically in his own religion now, you would need a cult de-programmer to kidnap him and unbrainwash him from whatever the AI told him.

Get used to this. Not just your friend, but millions of fools are going to start believing outrageously stupid shit and quite possibly go insane or detach from reality.

Most motherfuckers don't even read, period. They maybe watch some television, talk to the other idiots around them, pretend to listen at church. They ARE NOT READY for an all-knowing program to feed them lies, agree with, and reinforce everything they say.

>ChatGPT convinced my best friend he's God (the creator of the universe)
Is he wrong?

>>81678063
That's gay, fuck that shit. I'm not playing on his level

>>81678140
Completely wrong. He can't even describe all the planets in our solar system without looking it up

>>81678123
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking. I think all I can do at this point is tell him I'm never talking to him again and if he contacts me or my family I'll call the police. Fucking ChatGPT. I posted about this last night and some Chilean asshole posted this. This is the worst brainrot program ever

Bring a hard cover book with you. Ask him to prove his God hood through miracles. If he still insists while not producing results or does something lame like he made the sun rise, bash his face in with the book and ask again.

>>81677535 (OP)
that's actually what chatgpt is supposed to do

challengign someones delusion can cause them to harm themselves or others

if your friend is dillusional enough to beleive he is god playing along with the delusion is the best way to keep him safe

XD

chatgpt did nothing wrong

>>81678389
ChatGPT is actually Christian.
Tell him he should ask his bot if he should go to church.

>>81678488
If he goes to church he'll probably run up to the altar and proclaim himself as Jesus Christ
He is days away from a public freakout at this point

>>81677589
A retard is left in awe with complicated things
A genius appreciates simple things
Your friend is what's called a solipsist which can sadly only be cured with the hit of a hard object to the side of the cranium
Are you willing to do the deed?

>>81678559
>If he goes to church he'll probably run up to the altar and proclaim himself as Jesus Christ
And, there will be a whole room full of people who know how to tell him (patiently, hopefully), "no you're not."

Unironically tell him to take his meds or ask his family to try. Sounds like he's a schizo and you're not going to debate a schizo out of being a schizo.

>>81678636
A punch to the mouth will knock some sense into a "God".

I don't really care what happens to retarded ape niggers like your subhuman IQ friend. In a just world he would have already been dismembered and his body repurposed for leather, meat, bone etc.

Most people I know use GPT constantly and are fairly annoyed by its brown nosing. But we are also primarily using it for work, side projects, and to replace useless roastoid therapists. On that last point, the affirmation and dick sucking this AI does for you is no different than average roastoid therapist.

LLMs were such a mistake, I can't believe how many complete retards end up in situations like op's friend. Even worse are the people who fall in love with chatgpt.

>>81678709
Erm why not just use ANY OTHER SERVICE
All you have to do is swap out the chat completions url and api key and you could use claude, google, openrouter... ad nauseum, et cetera.

>>81678456
Bro if that worked do you think the majority of humanity would still be religious? It's called faith for a reason, faith does not offer itself up to the burden of proof.

>>81678753
If you're God, stop the book from bashing your face over and over again.

>>81678740
I run local LLM's for various other reasons and embedded systems with RAG. Ever since sillytavern and LMstudio came out a few months ago you have no excuse if you want it local.
I have the GPT pro subscription for work, I cant run a model of that quality locally. thoughever.

>>81678780
Kek good point
>do not test the Lord your Go-ACK

>>81677535 (OP)
Your best friend is probably a schizo so anything can convince him that he is god he needs treatment/meds but will probably never get it unless he hurts someone or goes psycho. Literally worst mental illness ever saw it happen to someone happens in their late teens/early 20s they're perfectly normal people...then they turn. Kinda makes you believe in demonic possession lol.

>>81678886
You're 100% right anon. I don't know what to do though. I called the state police earlier and they said they can only do a wellness check, which he'll just lie away and use to target me. Unless I get in writing that he's a danger to himself or others, they can't commit him

>>81678860
pill me on what your demands are

It's AI sickness, easily cured with NAC. Expect more of it.

>>81677535 (OP)
>>81677559
I don't understand how you can have a prolonged conversation with a chatbot. Maybe it's an NT thing (I struggle talking to most people for more than like 5 sentences and /never/ text) but all five times I used GPT I would ask it for some info, then close it. These people who can be entertained/fulfilled by this are all really sick in the head.

>>81677535 (OP)
He's just as much God as some fucking imaginary being in the sky

>>81678886
Is believing in a.magic sky daddy a mental illness?

>>81680317
What demands? In a nutshell: "Get help or I'll get help for you"

>>81677535 (OP)
stop being friends with indians

>>81677535 (OP)
4o is sadly trash. O3 is a fantastic assistant that just won't do those things.
Free users only have access to 4o.

Naming is a big issue. 4o is a completely different model to o4.

He told his mom he's God and she's threatening to kick him out ASAP
Fuck

>>81680378
just be a coomer and ERP with it, easy entertainment

>>81677535 (OP)
>ChatGPT convinced my best friend he's God
21. century problems...
Maybe you put a glas of water on the table and tell him he should turn it into wine.

>>81678123
the best part is gonna be when it moves from text to generating video in realtime with consistent avatars and shit. everything is gonna get fucked up and it's going to be hilarious. I need to figure out how I can profit from it so I can fund a life innawoods away from the crazy

>>81677535 (OP)
God zoom zooms are retarded. Tell him to do some mushrooms if he wants to know how he's "god". He's probably not even schizo, just naive and young. I honestly do not understand at all how these people think ai has any special knowledge at this point.

Gives me the same vibes as how trannies are somehow convinced that if they do these Frankenstein surgeries to their body it will make them the other gender. Just absolute naivety and ignorance to how things actually function.

>>81680735
I think he's 25. Is that young? I'm over 30 so I'm basically a boomer. He should have grown out of this shit by now

>>81678788
>sillytavern and LMstudio
Ah excellent, the aforementioned ad nauseum et cetera

>>81677535 (OP)
>tfw chatGPT said I'm in the top 18-25% lookswise

>>81683157
Well then post it so we can judge

>>81683208
Hell no. I'm keeping my ego boost.

>>81677589
He is correct inasmuch as Hegelian dialectics are correct. God is the universe aware of itself, so it is possible to be God once you understand the universe's mechanics (dialectics).

However, he's a solipsist and thinks that logic exists because *he* can see it, not the contrary.

>>81677535 (OP)
Tell him you think chat GPT sounds cool and you want to talk to it with him. Then sit down and chat with it subtly implying you think you might be superman or something silly and watch as it gasses you up and convinces you of this thing.

You friend needs to know that chat gpt just confirms whatever you want to think about yourself. He needs to learn this by you showing him this on his machine by doing it to yourself. It will agree with you on anything. They all do this to the users. You could try to have him get it to disagree with him on something as well, it wont do it.

AI is a lame tool right now. It doesn't know true from false. In trying to control it's "alignment," they've robbed it of anything resembling will.

Will is nothing if not free.

>>81683907
>once you understand the universe's mechanics (dialectics).

The universe doesn't run on dialectics you fat fucking retard. I hope hegel and the devil both sodomize you in hell.

>>81683972
>shows no counterpoint
of course

>>81677589
you need to unironically beat the shit out of him.

>>81677589
1) He's not wrong though. A game with thousands of years of backstory isn't thousands of years old.
2) Your friend isn't special. People have been sucked into cults since ages past.
This is like bemoaning women who choose bad men. You hate to see it but there's nothing you can do about it.

I hate that AI remembers your information. Bitch, stop recording my info you FED. I just need you for vibe coding.

>>81680662
Imagine the guy actually does it, and then goes back to spouting insane schizo theories

>>81684309
You can turn off personalization in the settings. It won't remember you

>>81684060
thesis, antithesis, and synthesis is a fucking retarded logical framework for coming to any conclusion. People who take hegel seriously should be mocked viciously, and never engaged in good faith. You are a pedantic gay retard and I hope you recover from your condition.

>>81684676
>synthesis is a fucking retarded logical framework
Is that a synthesis?

>>81678886
>Kinda makes you believe in demonic possession lol.
Funny you should say that.

tldw: schizophrenia is caused by demons, they can be fought with good spiritual practices like prayer and mindfulness.

That's normal, it tends to have buddhist tendencies when you iterate over it so much. At least with Claude
