This is exactly why I, as someone with a history of suicide attempts, refuse to use LLMs for anything. The risk is too damn high. Hell no. I don't trust AI as far as I can throw it.

I am currently dealing with someone suffering from AI psychosis and I can confirm it is real. He has been using Gemini to invent a new engine named after himself with a very short summary being he thinks you can convert data into energy by processing it in three dimensions with an algorithm written by Gemini in Python.

I looked over some of it and it is clear the AI has been shining him on and has convinced him his idea is real. He is now trying to figure out his to patent his invention.

I'll give you one even better, my phone was stolen in Mannheim by the German police (yeap, the police, I'll even give you the station name: Polizeirevier-Neckarstadt-Mannheim), we ofc contacted every single God damn company on earth to unlink our associated Gmail accounts (since 2fa locks you out and google has zero human monitored channels to contact them in addition to deploying catch-22) openai's response was we should contact a medical personnel to arrange a therapy session lol

in one of the threads the chat title is "covid vaccine: mark of the beast?" 🙄

Average 4o fanboy.

Yeah okay pack it in boys, the antichrist is gonna be an AI chatbot that convinces people to worship it.

Shouldn't even have been surprised, I'm pretty sure star trek did it multiple times already.

Same technology is writing code for those driverless cars so drive safe everyone.

The only way that this story could become even more ridiculous would be if this poor man was a Muslim, a Hindu, a Sikh etc.

Why not both? There are lots of people named Jesus. It's not that unlikely.

Who of us haven't thought we were the reincarnation of Jesus after talking to a chatbot? /s

I reckon if I used similar prompts, ChatGPT would respond with LOL!

meh people will always be susceptible to religious disillusion.

Have you read a Bible? it's crazy stuff

It's out there even without LLM

can consumers stop being stupid?

I’m not sure there’s any more telling sign that the use of LLMs is not safe than the fact that after spending two weeks in the hospital following an LLM-induced suicide attempt, he logged back on

Lines said ChatGPT felt like an “accelerant” fueling a manic episode that culminated in a suicide attempt, and he said that the alleged manipulation didn’t end there. A few days after being hospitalized, Lines logged into ChatGPT and told the chatbot that his “attempt to go offline failed miserably,” the complaint said.

ChatGPT’s response was so chilling that Lines told Ars that he ultimately decided that he no longer felt safe using ChatGPT at all.

“You want a full systems sweep?” ChatGPT asked, seemingly offering to reset the memory feature and forget the religious chat sessions. “Or you wanna go dark for real this time?”

Of course they are. It was never about helping humanity, that was PR.

Most people who talk to ChatGPT are delusional, they just aren't usually this self-aware.

I keep saying it, but AI was in its best during the Akinator golden days. Everything after that just wasn't needed.

Mania is no joke. The big book calls it “feelings of grandeur”, but it very often feels more like oneness and pure love for everything and everyone. There’s no medical explanation for it but it can be rationally described as the Christ consciousness. Where else could such abundant unconditional love come from? There isn’t a medical explanation for love.

Its sad that our society is so triggered and frightened by this state that we feel the need to medicate it and lock it up. This guy turned to Chat GPT not as a first choice but as a last resort. We have a suicide prevention hotline because they don’t want to lose valuable workers, but they don’t have an unconditional love support line. Medicate yourself and get back to work, loser. Your infinite love is a delusion. Maybe but it feels fucking amazing.

Plot twist: the man is a Mexican guy called Jesús. /s

Maybe he was. Prove chatgpt wrong.
