An interesting article about people using AI for seemingly innocuous tasks but spiral into a world of mysticism and conspiracy theories sparking a mental health crisis. I stark reminder to always remain conscious of the fact that AI has a monetary incentive to be sycophantic and keep you engaged.

Edited to link to the original article.

    The article presents zero evidence and sounds as if it were written as a dogshit gossip article spread through a throwaway magazine at grocery store racks claiming aliens impregnated a man.

      People are cashing in on anti-AI hysteria. I’ve seen people claim that the goal of these things is specifically to create new mental illnesses.

      aliens impregnated a man.

      But at least that’s believable. A male-presenting person with a vagina has sex with a man and doesn’t want to admit to the situation because it seems gay and that is shunned at the time.
