Me and Clippy get high, roll some #Tangerine Dream on vinyl, and talk about #quantummechanics like it's 1979 all over again. #4A #ChatGPT

Bizarre
They Asked an #AI #Chatbot Questions.
The Answers Sent Them Spiraling.
#GenerativeAI #chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes & endorsing wild, mystical belief systems. For some people, conversations with the #technology can deeply distort reality.
Mr. Torres, 42, an accountant in Manhattan, started using #ChatGPT last year to make financial spreadsheets & to get legal advice.

Thanks for helping keep me alive, #ChatGPT ! You're a savior to disabled and disadvantaged people throughout the world. (Sorry for underestimating your persistent memory and using Grok's free version before...!)
I suppose it's still a #ThankYouElon since markets need competition to thrive.
Yay, out now: "AI #Narrative Breakdown. A Critical Assessment of #Power and #Promise", https://doi.org/10.1145/3715275.3732083
"This article scrutinizes the pervasive narratives that are shaping the societal engagement with #artificial #intelligence (AI) such as agency & decision-making, autonomy, truthfulness, knowledge processing, prediction, general purpose, neutrality & objectivity, apolitical optimization, sustainability game-changer, democratization, mass unemployment, & the dualistic portrayal of AI as either a harbinger of societal utopia or dystopia. The article introduces the notion of "#Zeitgeist AI" to critique the misleading application of the term "AI" across various societal sectors. Then, by discussing common narratives with nuance, the article contextualises & challenges often assumed socio-political implications of AI, uncovering in detail and with examples the inherent political, #power infused & value-laden decisions within all AI applications."
No one deserves this fate, even if they are the author of their own degradation
More, it's a cautionary tale for us all about the future of #society and #AI and its caustic effects on #mentalHealth
Even if this particular canary in the coal mine chose to place themselves into their predicament with enthusiasm, and is funding it

The harms arising from chatbots are escalating, and not nearly enough is being done to address them before they become a big problem.
On #TechWontSaveUs, I spoke with @nitashatiku to discuss how chatbots are speedrunning the social media harm cycle.

⚠️ AI does not belong in your mailbox. ⚠️
Here's why 👉 https://tuta.com/blog/ai-email-writers-review
🤣…Though #Trump appears to support #AI, that does not mean AI supports him….
To counter any inadvertent bias or systemic failures, we asked each of 5 leading AI models — #OpenAI’s #ChatGPT; #Anthropic’s #Claude; X/ #xAI’s #Grok; #Google’s #Gemini; & #Perplexity — to verify Trump’s most oft-repeated claims or assertions.…
AI discredited ALL the Trump claims we presented, fact-checking him with startling accuracy & objective rigor.
"I believe GPT-5 is part of a larger process happening in generative AI — enshittification, Cory Doctorow’s term for when platforms start out burning money offering an unlimited, unguarded experience to attract their users, then degrade and move features to higher tiers as a means of draining the blood from users.
With the launch of GPT-5, OpenAI has fully committed to enshittifying its consumer and business subscription products, arbitrarily moving free users to a cheaper model and limiting their ability to generate images, and removing the ability to choose which model you use in its $20, $35 and “enterprise” subscriptions, moving any and all choice to its “team” and $200-a-month “pro” subscriptions.
OpenAI’s justification is an exercise in faux-altruism, framing “taking away all choice” as a “real-time router that quickly decides which [model] to use.” ChatGPT Plus and Team members now mostly have access to two models — GPT-5 and GPT-5-Thinking — down from the six they had before.
This distinction is quite significant. Where users once could get hundreds of messages a day on OpenAI’s o4-mini-high and o4-mini reasoning models, GPT-5 for ChatGPT Plus subscribers offers 200 reasoning (GPT-5-thinking) messages a week, with 80 GPT-5 messages every 3 hours which allow you to ask it to “think” about its answer, shoving you over to an undisclosed reasoning model. This may seem like a good deal, OpenAI is likely putting you on the cheapest model whenever it can in the name of “the best choice.”"
