AI-induced psychosis is not a comical subject matter but what you’re about to see is a true experience showing you how off the walls the LLMs (large language models) are. Remember as you watch this that the purpose of AI, in this context of ChatGPT, is to be your buddy and confidant. In this instance, the user used his ChatGPT as a therapist, which is dangerous to do, but no more dangerous than using the wrong human therapist, at least in my opinion — the difference being you could report a human therapist for leading you this far off the beaten path but you’re powerless to report ChatGPT.
The simple gist of what you’re about to see is how a comedian uses his ChatGPT to pursue an egotistical assertion, that he was the “smartest baby born in the world in 1996” and it leads him to eating baby food in a motel in Bakersfield, festooned with foil — both himself and the motel. (?!) Yes, this is where ChatGPT can lead you. This is an hour and a half and worth the time investment. This is both hilarious and scary.
It could happen to you. And believe me, there are tapes on YouTube about people screwing up their lives with social media and ChatGPT which are anything but funny.
