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 🙄
