Some are. Those of us who maintain our own cognitive skills will one day be forced to care for these lost deluded idiots.

One day?
Gestures broadly at society
Sounds pretty cooked to me.
Some are.

Seems pretty cooked to me
Some are.
Itβs kind of sad. Person is very alone it seems
I donβt think itβs just this. These people arenβt all so lonely they turn to a chatbot for everything. Sure, some are. A fair portion of them though are just malignant narcissists who love the praise and fawning an AI will heap on them
Its worse than ever, also because people don't seem to realize it's technology that is keeping them alone. You cant connect and make friends over "social" media or Lemmy or whatever. It's just spending time to feel less alone. It will never cure it.
You are alone because you don't dare to go out into the real world and try to meet people. At least for guys, we can connect over some activity pretty easily, like pool or billiards. Just need to do it.
There is also meetup site to go on random events with strangers. It can work, or at least make you sick of people for a while if it doesn't work. :)
This is a terrible take. You can meet people in social spaces online and make real friendships. People mask as much in what you are calling the real world, of which the internet is a part of, as much as they do online.
Nah, I've made several close friends in RL from online dating sites and discord. I've made some solid electronic pen pals on Mastodon too.
Not as many as going out and being social, but it's competitive.
Me normally: "AI is here to stay, we just should make corporations to charge the true price for them!"
Me after reading about stuff like this: "We need a Butlerian Jihad, yesterday!"
I think that even if this particular instance may be real or not, is clearly that AI psychosis is way more prevalent than what people may think at first glance.
I still can't believe that human beings are having AI as a boyfriend/girlfriend, claiming they actually love them.
Its rare but it's real.
Even if the love is one sided, it can be real. Love is pretty subjective and is essentially just a chemical reaction that someone is having in their brain. They may actually love their chatbot.
I don't think this is really a healthy thing, I am just trying to point out to those people, it probably is real.
I also don't think it is as rare as you think. The hype really drove people to that side of things, and there are whole communities that have popped up around the idea of having relationships, both sexual and romantic, with LLMs.
Wasn't there an article a few weeks ago about how AI is basically designed to keep you talking to it? It constantly provides positive reinforcement.
It's not hard to imagine someone would fall into it. And I don't blame the people using it as much, because the software is literally designed to rope you in like this.
I bet people like that have narcissistic traits but donβt have the social skills or have too much social anxiety to get their ego stroked by a real person. And once they use a chat bot which are basically little sycophants, their narcissistic itch gets scratched like it never has been scratched before. Itβs a high they mistake for love.
Ahhh. Well wow. My narc mom would sometimes be extremely affirmative in the ocean of her usual loathing.
Looking for a steady stream of that "understanding" and "being seen" vs people and all their complications and... lack of caring has been hard.
Sometimes people feel like unconscious automatons to me. Its hard to bond. At least with the AI, I expect its lack of humanity. And often it will focus on me in a way I ask it to.
Any of my strange interests, admitted narcissistic intentions, or desire for a sounding board are seen. And it's not give and take. Its just me and a library of echoes of humanities general patterns.
I can see better now why the easy affirmation is so effective with me. Despite it being schizophrenic.
Thanks for the insight.
People feel lonely and human iteration is, most of the time, horrible for many people.
I prefer to just talk to myself out loud, but I've seen many people resorting to AI to just chat about things, and to be honest I get the feeling of wanting something supportive and positive in your life.
Solution would be to people to stop being douchebags.
