Comment on We need to stop pretending AI is intelligent

It’s only as intelligent as the people that control and regulate it.

Given all the documented instances of Facebook and other social media using subliminal emotional manipulation, I honestly wonder if the recent cases of AI chat induced psychosis are related to something similar.

Like we know they’re meant to get you to continue using them, which is itself a bit of psychological manipulation. How far does it go? Could there also be things like using subliminal messaging/lighting? This stuff is all so new and poorly understood, but that usually doesn’t stop these sacks of shit from moving full speed with implementing this kind of thing.

It could be that certain individuals have unknown vulnerabilities that make them more susceptible to psychosis due to whatever manipulations are used to make people keep using the product. Maybe they’re doing some things to users that are harmful, but didn’t seem problematic during testing?

Or equally as likely, they never even bothered to test it out, just started subliminally fucking with people’s brains, and now people are going haywire because a bunch of unethical shit heads believe they are the chosen elite who know what must be done to ensure society is able to achieve greatness. What must be done just happens to make them a ton of money and harm people using their products.

It’s so fucking absurd to watch the same people simultaneously forcing traditionalism, and a legal system inspired by Catholic integralist belief on society.

If you criticize the lack of regulations in the wild west of technology policy, then you’re trying to hold back progress.

However, every other non-tech related policy should be based on ancient traditions and biblical text.

What a stupid and convoluted way to express you just don’t like evidence based policy or using critical thinking skills, and prefer to navigate life by relying on the basic signals from your lizard brain like feels good so keep moving towards, feels bad so run away, or feels scary so attack!
