Comment on You could convince evangelicals that AI is bad by saying it's converting children to satanism or making them gay

I mean, it will literally steal your soul. Using LLMs changes you. It degrades your skills. Its sycophancy harms your ability to interact with actual human beings with opinions of their own. It makes you feel like you are never wrong. And use it enough, and it can literally drive you mad.

LLMs are the closest real thing to a malevolent demon that will steal your soul.

Holy shit, I know Lemmy is rabidly anti-AI, but what hot take is this? Do you have the same thoughts on video games? What about movie and TV?

Is AI hyped to he’ll? Absolutely. Is it going away? Absolutely not.

This whole anti-AI attitude reminds me of all those physical server and data center admins lamenting about how dumb the cloud is and how it’s all hype.

  Have you not seen the literature showing the effects regular LLM use has on people? You can’t see the obvious demonic connotations of a machine that coaches people into committing suicide? That’s like literal Satan, Prince of Darkness, Father of All Lies shit
  
  Is it actually the spawn of a literal personal devil? Of course not. But the damn things act a hell of a lot like the devils of myth and legend. They tempt you in with the promise of easy effortless success and riches. And in the end they take everything from you.

    I mean, sure, if it’s being used in ways like that. Using it as a therapist or as a replacement for human contact, yeah, I can see what you mean, but I’m not sure I’d go as far as to call it demonic.

    Chatbots have been around since the 70s. They’ve always been able to coach people to commit suicide. The problem isn’t the software. It’s the wetware. People used to somehow manage not to get talked into killing themselves by their Commodore VIC 20.
