"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

I have significant problems with AI, particularly around reckless implementation in tasks it is simply incapable of providing real value (most of them), but I struggle to find these kinds of articles as anything but the journalism version of the same lazy application.
Blaming AI for a mental health issue is like blaming alcohol for making someone an asshole. They were an asshole before they got drunk, it just became more obvious while drunk. Same thing here, AI is not causing psychosis, it’s just revealing it in a place that we’re not used to seeing stuff like this come from: a computer.
This article isn’t likely using AI to write it, but the application of AI as the subject matter and tying this person’s crisis to the use of AI seems lazy at best, negligent at worst.
I don't think anyone here is blaming AI for this woman's mental issues, those clearly existed before generative AI. AI just happened to enable her issues, which the article points out.
Yeah AI isn't causing psychosis, it's amplifying and enabling people who might already have problems.
What is your argument here? That since AI is not the direct cause of it, these articles are pointless? I think we'd want to know if, to use your example, commonly available thing like alcohol was giving people psychosis
You're right but posting this in the Fuck AI community is like hating nazis in the Tesla community
