This reminds me of someone...

As Rolling Stone reports, users on Reddit are sharing how AI has led their loved ones to embrace a range of alarming delusions, often mixing spiritual mania and supernatural fantasies.

I saw something awhile ago about some of the heavier users becoming emotionally dependant on ChatGPT. Their input would grow more personalized and affectionate, they'd have withdrawal symptoms if prevented from using it, and were assigning a personality to it that made them "distressed" if it suddenly changed the tone of output.

And it's a separate thing, but it's been noticed that the ads circulating on reddit have been specifically targeting college students in a "WHY NOT LET US HELP YOU CHEAT" kind of way that seems especially blatant, lol.

There are ads for OpenAI?

To be fair, that was only OpenAI, and they pretty much pushed it in that direction.

I mean technically using those would work, but there's so many easier ways to do it.

That's fucking funny XD, maybe I can threaten on guys lol

Apparently ChatGPT also loves telling people to mix bleach and vinegar.

So, there ya go fellas, maybe you can steam clean your balls with that.

Really? I use chat gpt for making stories when I'm bored.... its fucking hilareous XD

I heard that clorine gas cleans stupidity rather well.

I know! I just realized what it is about! No need to be mean ;-;

It was not my intention to be mean. Did you actually do that?

Oooh, risky move. Asking people not to be mean on the internet is like cutting yourself and jumping in a shark infested ocean.

Funny you should mention that. I just read and reviewed your ballsack joke story about squirrels.

oh.. I'm stupid then

Yes, because you're reading in non-threaded view. Stop that.

Sorry...

I didn't INTEND for it to be that way, it just happened! Occupational hazard of writing about squirrels and their nuts.

I feel like there should be a new category for stories like Love is for the Birds, and of course, my own contribution to this prestigious genre, Slay the Dragon. As testicular metaphors arise naturally from discussion of squirrels (who are just so damned good at fitting nuts in the mouth), so too do harrowing tales of closeted homosexuality arise from anything associated with dragons.

did u just made a pun?

Only the gods know for sure, but I think they would be most pleased if you read and reviewed the two stories I mentioned.
