"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I think my concern is with it being called “AI Psychosis”
It doesn’t seem like an effective call to action for treatment for the individual if we simply blame the AI not being “safe enough” or something.
If we bring this back to alcohol, the alcohol absolutely is to blame for worsening symptoms. There's even the term "alcohol-induced psychosis" or "alcohol-related psychosis" to describe the effect. Without the alcohol they are fine, with it they enter psychosis.
If someone is symptom-free without AI and experiences symptoms with AI, then calling it "AI psychosis" would be reasonable.
I guess so. I’m just so wary of everything revolving around AI, even blaming it. If the idea of AI psychosis gets big, but then undermined by shoddy reporting or research, it could cause people to dismiss it like the McDonald’s hot coffee thing.
I want AI companies to be held accountable, but only appropriately so they can’t use shakey arguments against it to get out of that responsibility.
imo it won't matter until the bubble pops. AI could be powered by literal human sacrifice and it would be dismissed.
