That’s what i always think when i read things like that. “Facebook is invading our privacy, same as instagram, and there is nothing we can do.”
Idk man, not using it is pretty easy actually.

Oh but Facebook tracks you regardless of you having an account with them. Half of Android phones come with facebooks telemetry built into them, all those like and share buttons on websites/blogs, also tracking you.

By far the easiest solution.

With how so many services are forcing it upon us, I’d have to disagree.
It’s getting to be a bit of a chore to block AI elements on various websites and a few of the worst offenders (Google is one that I know does this) has a random string of characters on the element that serve as a unique identifier that periodically changes and so requires me to readd them to my UBO blocklist. On each device…
It is the most effective solution for sure, though.

I put in an IT ticket the other day over the fucking Copilot button on my work-issued Surface laptop. They actually told me to install Powertoys. So I did. And disabled that fucking button.

All who argue in the interwebs are potential victims honestly. And those who argue with them, even if only IRL. How do you tell which news, which discourses and which commenters are bots (or repeat after bots, or consult bots)?

I can’t run local models bigger than 7b q_4_k_m or so, so I’m safe for now.

I knew from the moment I deeply interacted with AI that this would be an issue. It’s wild and AI is bar far the coolest invention since the Internet. It’s a philosophers dream. It’s a playground for your brain! It’s a sparring partner for your thoughts and ideas to stress test them.
Having said that I can easily see so some losing their grip depending on how they are interacting with it.

Seriously, using something devoid of thought as “a sparring partner for your thoughts” seems to me like it’s a serious entry point to losing one’s grip.
Especially since the behaviour of those machines is steered by large corporations whose only goal is to get your ressources, be it money, skill or attention.

Yeah, wafflewarrior’s description of AI is hugely problematic and is the exact reason why people are falling into this crap. AI is literally the antithesis of mental exercising.

The only other thing that fascinated me more in regards to AI and psychosis that can develop …is the phenomenon of people not liking AI simply for the sake of not liking it.
I get it, I’m a hipster too, but when people purposely decide to morph into Will Smith from I Robot for no reason…it’s just silly 🙄

Fortunately AI is not big enough part of my life to care about this one way or another. It definitely has it’s uses but I never used as anything other than data transformation tool and search engine alternative. I don’t know what kind of people confuse AI with a companion and have sincere conversations with it, I don’t know how to help them and I don’t care how this will impact the AI industry.

The thing is you don’t have to use it personally, other people will use it for you and present it to you, possibly without you knowing it. AI bot accounts, AI news stories, AI art and so on. It is already a big part of the internet and it will continue to increase regardless of whether we personally use AI or not.
ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 6 hours ago
Yeah but I’m pretty sure reading AI news stories will not give me psychosis.
blackstampede@sh.itjust.works 1 day ago
No. Because I know how they work.

I’m not immune to it but it’ll have to fight all the other psychosises I have.

None of you, that’s for sure.

The American Psychological Association met with the FTC in February to urge regulators to address the use of AI chatbots as unlicensed therapists.

AI chabots are terrible therapists. What the fuck are you even implying?
TheAlbatross@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 hours ago
I think that’s a little cynical. I know a few people who work in psych, some in ER’s, and it’s becoming more common to hear people following advice they got via ChatGPT and harming themselves. One particularly egregious one was where the patient was using the program for therapy reasons then suddenly pivoted to asking what the highest buildings were locally, which, of course, the program answered.
Dindonmasker@sh.itjust.works 22 hours ago
Thr highest building will just make you regret your action for longer while falling. May i suggest this building close to your location that is perfectly as tall as it needs to do the job? Chatgpt probably.

One dude dies on his way to meet his cat fishing AI girlfriend and every new outlet pretends it’s Rise Or The Terminators.

There are more cases where the use of AI greatly accelerate people’s schizophrenia and they fall into some cyber psychosis.
I still have a hard time feeling bad for people who use AI as a self affirming tool and ask it for advice.

Yes. Every time a Republican makes a post on social media I’m a victim of AI Psychosis.
