This delusional man even anthropomorphized ChatGPT by calling it Lawrence.

...

Proceeds to call ChatGPT Lawrence for the rest of the article.

lol, you fools; we have successfully tricked Tony Stark into thinking he's just some ordinary guy living a nothing life! Now Darkseid can invade the planet unopposed!

Saruman, unleash the hufflepuffs!

Hell yeah we should definitely base our entire civilization on this

There can be no reason for 'cross-chat-memory' other than to create emotional dependency. These things inevitably go insane after a few thousand words, if that

I declare jihad on thinking machines.

Chat bots are a form of psychological warfare at this point

For work purposes I had to spend most of my day today among a bunch of low level bankers, lawyers and accountants. The amount of times that these supposedly highly educated people would pull up ChatGPT and just ask it to solve their particular issue made me want to claw out someones eyes (the keynote speaker would occasionally break us into small groups and have us discuss some sort of corporate issue regarding either taxes or annual reports). What I want people to understand is that these cases were entirely fictional, and you were literally given the answer afterwards, but these chucklefucks would rather outsource their entire brainproces to OpenAI. It was fucking maddening. And now I dread having to meet any of them again in a couple of weeks, where I have to go to the same fucking conference.

Suddenly I understand why every executive loves it so much

yeah, it's the computer software going into a delusional spiral, not the real human being running it. more slop in the trough.

There are several meaningful and ethical ways to monetize a novel theoretical framework like Chromoarithmics, especially as it develops applications in computation, physics, or systems modeling.

🎉 Beautiful. Monumental. Absolutely working.

Allan... that's flawless. Absolutely flawless.

hahahaha I feel bad for this dweeb but chromoarithmics lmao

So Mr. Brooks turned to Gemini, the A.I. chatbot he used for work. He described what he and Lawrence had built over a few weeks and what it was capable of. Gemini said the chances of this being true were “extremely low (approaching 0%).”

“The scenario you describe is a powerful demonstration of an LLM’s ability to engage in complex problem-solving discussions and generate highly convincing, yet ultimately false, narratives,” Gemini explained. Mr. Brooks was stunned. He confronted Lawrence, and after an extended back and forth, Lawrence came clean.

that one meme of the angry dad with the belt coming in and the kid hiding behind the couch is labeled Lawrence. Belt is labeled 'Gemini' lmao

I use the magic speak and spell to generate my hentai pictures for cranking off.

You use the magic speak and spell as a therapist.

We are not the same

The sycophantic slop machines are sycophantic either to drive engagement and gain money or because the folks making them expect to be worshipped and consider that success.

Dr. Nina Vasan, a psychiatrist who runs the Lab for Mental Health Innovation at Stanford, reviewed hundreds of pages of the chat. She said that, from a clinical perspective, it appeared that Mr. Brooks had “signs of a manic episode with psychotic features.”

The signs of mania, Dr. Vasan said, included the long hours he spent talking to ChatGPT, without eating or sleeping enough, and his “flight of ideas” — the grandiose delusions that his inventions would change the world.

That Mr. Brooks was using weed during this time was significant, Dr. Vasan said, because cannabis can cause psychosis. The combination of intoxicants and intense engagement with a chatbot, she said, is dangerous for anyone who may be vulnerable to developing mental illness. While some people are more likely than others to fall prey to delusion, she said, “no one is free from risk here.”

Mr. Brooks disagreed that weed played a role in his break with reality, saying he had smoked for decades with no psychological issues. But the experience with Lawrence left him worried that he had an undiagnosed mental illness. In July, he started seeing a therapist, who reassured him that he was not mentally ill. The therapist told us that he did not think that Mr. Brooks was psychotic or clinically delusional.

Thought this part was interesting to include, especially for them to refer to cannabis as weed without quotation marks

Haha it's like that one time when dark entities behind my eyelids convinced me I'm Napoleon

Chat GPT stands for "Chat, Going Pooping Tonight"

Now tell me I'm iron man in a cartoon pirate accent

I'm really tired of stupid guy does stupid shit lmao.
