Companies only care about money.

This is like any matchmaking app genuinely attempting to match you with "the one" through AI, algorithms, science, etc so when you meet the perfect person you stop giving the app money.

I got lucky and married my fuck buddy that I met on Tinder. But that is not a good business plan. Why would OpenAI drive people to stop using their product.

I'm a functional alcoholic. Last I checked booze companies aren't reaching out to me to stop buying booze because they care about my personal health or mental wellbeing....

What problem does the chair have...?

go take a look at https://www.reddit.com/r/EscapingPrisonPlanet/. The venn diagram is a circle.

Think about the people you willingly surround yourself with. Then think about how often they agree with the things you think and say.

As the saying goes "I'm sure there's someone out there who believes the exact opposite of everything I believe, and while I'm sure they aren't a complete idiot..."

Everyone is susceptible to the feedback loop. Everyone can fall victim to the seduction of an echo chamber. While not everyone would ignore the red flag that this thing is a machine/digital algorithm rather than a person or sentient/sapient being, it's not really that hard to see how we got here. Echo chambers exist all over the internet. The difference is that most of them have some voices of dissent. The AI LLM doesn't offer that. They keep trying to add it in but it's basically antithetical to the design.

When you add that to the fact that making it addictive benefits their bottom line is pretty obvious that they are trying to walk the line between being regulated by the government and making their product as popular as possible.

I don't think they really knew it would have this exact effect. But I do think they plan to take advantage of it now that they know and I don't think we humans are all going to be able to fight the temptation of an automated propaganda machine.

This is especially because mental health and healthcare in this country has been failing for decades, and even people who "don't have mental health problems" aren't magically mentally healthy, they just don't know the status of their mental health. A whole lot of people in the US especially are mentally ill or facing neurological medical problems that they don't know about.

I don’t know. Give it 1 hour and it forgets who and what you even spoke about.

There are ways to make a local llm with memory but even then it’s still not a person and acts insane.

That's because it isn't true. Retraining models is expensive with a capital E, so companies only train a new model once or twice a year. The process of 'fine-tuning' a model is less expensive, but the cost is still prohibitive enough that it does not make sense to fine-tune on every single conversation. Any 'memory' or 'learning' that people perceive in LLMs is just smoke and mirrors. Typically, it looks something like this:

-You have a conversation with a model.

-Your conversation is saved into a database with all of the other conversations you've had. Often, an LLM will be used to 'summarize' your conversation before it's stored, causing some details and context to be lost.

-You come back and have a new conversation with the same model. The model no longer remembers your past conversations, so each time you prompt it, it searches through that database for relevant snippets from past (summarized) conversations to give the illusion of memory.

I've experimented with chatbots to see their capabilities to develop small bits and pieces of code, and every friggin time, the first thing I have to say is "shut up, keep to yourself, I want short, to the point replies"because the complimenting is so "whose a good boy!!!!" annoying.

People don't talk like these chatbots do, their training data that was stolen from humanity definitely doesn't contain that, that is "behavior" included by the providers to try and make sure that people get as hooked as possible

Gotta make back those billions of investments on a dead end technology somehow

My sarcastic answer is that it’s not a write-off because he’s not already rich.

My honest answer is that I don’t know, because I don’t know shit about taxes.

That has always been the case. Look at any angle Trump voter.

Previously they would have had to encounter a person who wanted to manipulate them. Now there's a widely marketed technology that will reliably chew these vulnerable people up.

Put this prompt into ChatGPT (e.g. on duck.ai), then try talking to it. This turns the pandering bullshit off, though of course veracity of its ‘knowledge’ remains in question.

(People say that some more concise and less masturbatory prompts also work, but I don't follow discussions of that.)

I still use the machine that ruined my life and drove me crazy, but only because I’m too lazy to type “lasagna recipe” in to Google.

What's weird to me is they now recognize AI will lie to you but somehow think they can prompt it not to? Your rules can be "overwritten" because they do not exist to ChatGPT. It does not know what words mean.

I can fix her...

There are no more philosophical discussions.

Yeah... if you can't have a philosophical discussion with someone (or something) that's giving you false information or using invalid logical structures, without falling for their bullshit by uncritically accepting everything they say, then you're not having philosophical discussions right, and that's on you...

lmao "core rules that cannot be overwritten" that not how llms work

EDIT: oh, yeah you said the same thing

There’s probably already an underlying mental health issue, and it’s just getting exacerbated by the LLM.

mental healthcare field being practically non-existent in most countries

I’m in one of those countries so I’m having a hard time imagining how good mental healthcare could intervene. Could you give me an example?

The voice bot is so so so so so much worse than the chat bot on top of it. I do not know how he could ever have held a conversation with that thing. Honestly, i don’t fucking believe it.

This is one of the reasons I heard one sex doll vendor say their demographics are divorced men over 40 and users want AI in them.

I've heard from other people that it adopts specific writing patterns and behaviors from the people using it. I think ChatGPT saves and summarizes chat conversations to personalize the chatbot, but I'm not sure since I don't use it myself.
