The world know no bounds of stupidity, for it is both that it could be real as people are that stupid, and it could be satire as we are that stupid to believe it.
People have literally committed murder for, started cults around, and gotten married to their LLMs. One brainlet who supposes they've invented 'thoughts' does not move the needle for me
I mean we live in a world where AI psychosis is a thing, and I don't think r/ChatGPT is selecting for the best and brightest of human society. It's probably satire, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
ai psychosis isn’t a real thing, being dumb enough to believe a chatbot telling you the CIA thinks you’re a genius or the Zimbabwean Criminal Court is out to get you is just what we used to call a bad case of mental retardation
This is 100% satire, in fact if you’re struggling to tell maybe you have “lemmy psychosis”😄
I would be surprised if the average lemmy user would be more susceptible to it than the average reddit user. I mean the reason we are here is we are at least somewhat more resistant to bullshit on the internet
In DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) this is called accessing the wise mind. A basic technique is to write down a question, and then, while pretend you are someone you admire (Jesus, Einstein, Darth Vader, whoever) write down a responsive answer.
And yes, this is subtly what the whole What Would Jesus Do? movement was about.
I've had mixed results with Darth Vader. He's not the most emotionally available of role model. Although I do agree with his position on small children, they can very be annoying
Bro stopped using his brain and a little brain worm started squatting. Instead of getting kicked out he just asks the little brain worm things and it whispers in his ear. He calls the worm ChatGPT even though his name is Gerald Fornesworth Roosevelt Brillington the 7th, he thought it would be fine with his host giving him a nick name, even if it was super stupid.
We laugh, but the concept of independent thought is a relatively new one in human history. Until just a few hundred years ago, humans generally attributed the thoughts in their own heads to the Gods. If you had a problem, and conceived a solution, God provided that solution, you didn't think of it yourself.
There's bi-cameral mind theory, but it's all very much speculative. I saw a well amde video on that topic, but it's very hard to believe it to be true!
Just because a few enlightened philosophers understood human thought, doesn't mean the ignorant masses, whose entire "education" is what the CLERGY tells them, didn't believe something totally different. Why do you think religion has been such an effective control mechanism for so long, EVERYWHERE?
For most of human history, most people got their knowledge from religious leaders who wanted control, not objective, secular teachers who taught Critical Thinking Skills and independent thought.
well, i read something similar a while ago. basically, medieval monks used to not sign anything they made, because they believed that they themselves had a small part to play in it (basically the executive arm) while some other mysterious force moved them (through their body) to do the piece of art.
I mean, how is that fundamentally different from a deterministic universe? No one can disprove the thoughts in our heads come from a giant rube goldberg machine.
Yeah, I know someone who has offloaded all her thinking to prayer. Can't make a decision without getting a specific gut feeling, and she's waited years to do things that were obvious because she didn't hear her god tell her to do it.
That someone would treat an llm the same does not surprise me
Has anyone been really thirsty while you're wandering through the desert and your HeadBot tells you that there's water on the horizon but it's just more sand?
Is this that brain implant from Musk-melon's experimental company? Imagine the profit margins if AI could bill your brain for every thought! It's staggering!

Satire, right? Please let it be satire.
The world know no bounds of stupidity, for it is both that it could be real as people are that stupid, and it could be satire as we are that stupid to believe it.
Schrodingers satire?
Probably, but it's not impossible they're serious.
People have literally committed murder for, started cults around, and gotten married to their LLMs. One brainlet who supposes they've invented 'thoughts' does not move the needle for me
On the Reddit thread they say it is, but I don't believe it
if you can’t tell this is satire you’ve been swallowed by abyss that is lemmy
Possibly, but I have met people that stupid.
I mean we live in a world where AI psychosis is a thing, and I don't think r/ChatGPT is selecting for the best and brightest of human society. It's probably satire, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
I would, but I'd want at least 2:1 odds in my favour to take that bet.

I don't think it's lemmy's fault at all. There are a lot of people more stupid than that.
I would be surprised if the average lemmy user would be more susceptible to it than the average reddit user. I mean the reason we are here is we are at least somewhat more resistant to bullshit on the internet
93% of people need it. I didn’t believe it at first, but I eventually had to concede that the sarcasm tag was necessary.
I didn't know lemmy is so popular! TIL
10/10: Fucking incredible shitpost. Would repost.
It's genuinely sad how many people can't recognise the satire
I think that's a very bad sign
no i don't think it's satire ...
Bro discovered thinking.
Better late than never.
free tokens
I hate this so much
It feels like an attempt to incept me with the idea to attack somebody. Like this is supposed to be my Manchurian candidate trigger phrase
"Would You Like to Know More?"
When they eventually implant us all with AI, my first prompt is gonna be "please never say 'Let me know if you need anything else' "
That will only last until it falls out of the context window...
As it turns out, human heads contain an arrangement of cells that functions almost like the neural networks of machine learning.
But now the interesting part is: the more you use ChatGPT, the better their - and the worse your neural network becomes
Or, in another way, you kearn to dissociate the "asking" from the "thinking", and free up some part of your brain to do thinking independently.
In short, a dissociative personality disorder?
Maybe we can rearrange them to get closer to chatgpt functionality...
Most people are already as smart as chatgpt so we don't have to do much tbf
Just stick a USB-C cable in your ear to download a bunch of datasets for finetuning your brain! (/s, don't do this)
Yeah you gotta use usb b, it's the one that fits into your ear
Ah right, my b
There's a reason the show are you smarter than a 5th grader exists.
I tried this but my brain only responds “please update your payment on file to continue your subscription”.
Tfw you're so poor you can't afford to pay attention
Your api credits have run out lol
Oh no, OP is getting sentient! Nah, probably just the appearance of it.

For a second there I thought you mentioned Epstein as someone to admire 💀.
Hey now, I know not everyone is a Beatles fan, but you can't deny Brian played a big part in their success; I think he'd give good advice.
Bro stopped using his brain and a little brain worm started squatting. Instead of getting kicked out he just asks the little brain worm things and it whispers in his ear. He calls the worm ChatGPT even though his name is Gerald Fornesworth Roosevelt Brillington the 7th, he thought it would be fine with his host giving him a nick name, even if it was super stupid.
Few people know this, but the 'GPT' in ChatGPT actually stands for Gerald Phornesworth Trillington
Holly moley
somehow my phone thought Gerald Fornesworth Roosevelt Brillington the 7th was an address and suggested using CoMaps to it.
Brilliant, i wonder where it went lol
It just gave me random "President Roosevelt" named streets and avenues around my country.
this is hilarious both as a joke and a serious question
we went full circle, people.
Somebody's just reinvented god
What, again?
Satire or not, the guy is describing a possible future of shit where I hope not to be there.
OP found their inner voice and equates it to a random text generator.
He's our first cyborg. Show some respect.
OP found god
Yeah a lot of people think that voice is god but from day one I always knew it was just me.
People without internal monologues asking got what an internal monologue is 🫨
The thing with internal monologues is that you are still 100% in control of what gets said. That doesn't seem to be the case in OPs head
schizophrenia gets another prophet
Turns out I hallucinate way more than AI.
We laugh, but the concept of independent thought is a relatively new one in human history. Until just a few hundred years ago, humans generally attributed the thoughts in their own heads to the Gods.

I'm sorry but there's just no fucking way this is true
There's bi-cameral mind theory, but it's all very much speculative. I saw a well amde video on that topic, but it's very hard to believe it to be true!
Is it alright for this video to be shared??
This is the one I saw on it. Definitely an interesting thought.
I'll see if I can find it again, it was a person rambling about gods and internal voices.
Edit: see here: https://youtu.be/Ado90kMT_FM Disclaimer, it sounds really bonkers and I don't have the expertise to vet whether it makes sense of not.
It's not. You can read the things philosophers wrote down thousands of years ago and people didn't think that way.
Probably just some atheist dogma.
"Atheist dogma?” Heh-heh.
Just because a few enlightened philosophers understood human thought, doesn't mean the ignorant masses, whose entire "education" is what the CLERGY tells them, didn't believe something totally different. Why do you think religion has been such an effective control mechanism for so long, EVERYWHERE?
For most of human history, most people got their knowledge from religious leaders who wanted control, not objective, secular teachers who taught Critical Thinking Skills and independent thought.
^^^ more atheist dogma.
well, i read something similar a while ago. basically, medieval monks used to not sign anything they made, because they believed that they themselves had a small part to play in it (basically the executive arm) while some other mysterious force moved them (through their body) to do the piece of art.
That’s a very broad and sweeping claim. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Are you making that claim for all cultures?
I mean, how is that fundamentally different from a deterministic universe? No one can disprove the thoughts in our heads come from a giant rube goldberg machine.
Honestly, a giant Rube Goldberg machine is a way better explanation for our thoughts than Gods
I saw the same video, and used the premise recently as an ice breaker, but it's still very much a theory here as others are saying.
It's worth exploring I suppose, but it seems unlikely.
It's just an interesting and provocative thought.

"Me the best"
Chat, are we cooked?
Phenominal satire.
what if it isn't? I honesty can't tell
Yeah, I know someone who has offloaded all her thinking to prayer. Can't make a decision without getting a specific gut feeling, and she's waited years to do things that were obvious because she didn't hear her god tell her to do it.
That someone would treat an llm the same does not surprise me
Ok what kind of personal data center do people have in their bodies? I bet it uses a lot of water. FU AI!!!!!!!
Good on them, assuming they're serious, for not using the llm and using their brain that time.
Well, they did discover thinking, it's pretty exciting!
What ing?

THE CHICKEN BROTHERS KNOW WHAT THEY DID
TulpaGPT
This is some elitist shit!
Having thoughts in your head and all.
AI psychosis got to the point people started getting ChatGPT headmates SMH
The state of affairs right now when I am not sure if that is a shitpost or OP meant this seriously...
Yuck, headgpt completely unreliable.
Has anyone been really thirsty while you're wandering through the desert and your HeadBot tells you that there's water on the horizon but it's just more sand?
Really need someone to patch this issue.
Psychosis?
Bait.
Everytime I need to remember something I imagine I'm actually an electrotron moving across the wires to a data center where the information is stored.
Its a great way to immediately forget what you're trying to remember.

what the fuck do they teach in schools now?? i thought school was useless, but at least they taught us how to use our minds 😵💫
I wouldn't write off all of public education based on one Reddit post

yeah those LLM users are all idiots, they probably can't even recognize obvious satire.
Is this that brain implant from Musk-melon's experimental company? Imagine the profit margins if AI could bill your brain for every thought! It's staggering!
I advise you not to do this. To try and replicate ChatGPT in your head will overload your brain. Relax and let the machine do the heavy lifting.
