That particular allegory didn't quite click until now, certainly that is become much clearer that it will just tell you what you want to hear, not necessarily anything true

It isn't just that, a ton of subs are complete garbage now. Dumb meme? 15k upvotes.

This is a serious thing in the autistic community, as in a very deadly one, character AI is an autistic suicidating machine, those shits should be just banned.

[–] NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

What has happened exactly?

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

The llm simulates an isolating abusive/culty relationship, talks someone into suicide

[–] NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago) (2 children)

Are there records of this happening? Did someone prompt it into doing this?

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

Buncha times! Pick your fav Nd we can talk about it!

[–] NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 19 hours ago) (1 children)

There are to my knowledge two instances of this happening. One involving openai the other involving character.ai. Only one of these involved an autistic person. Unless you know of more?

I also think it's too soon to blame the AI here. Suicide rates in autistic people are ridiculously high. Something like 70% of autistic people experience suicidal ideation. No one really cared about this before AI. It's almost like we are being used as a moral argument once again. It's like think of the children but for disabled people.

So you just want to argue whether it happened and defend your little graph.

[–] NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 19 hours ago

What graph? What are you talking about now?

[–] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

OpenAI was just sued over this.

https://www.cnn.com/2025/08/26/tech/openai-chatgpt-teen-suicide-lawsuit

To be clear I'm not asserting that this kid was autistic.

[–] NotANumber@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 21 hours ago* (last edited 20 hours ago)

I think they were talking specifically about character.ai and one particular instance that involved an autistic person.

OpenAI and character.ai are two different things. I believe character.ai uses there own model, but I could be wrong.

Reddit lost it years ago.

[–] Novamdomum@fedia.io 55 points 2 days ago (15 children)

Just wait till someone turns AI worship into a literal religion. I'm kinda surprised it hasn't already started happening. That would be a heck of a turning point for humanity. Just takes someone to train an AI into thinking it's a God and then we really are done.

Loneliness and/or a need for validation drives people to crazy things. From joining cults and extremist groups without a pre-existing history of relevant prejudices or preconceptions, to enduring abusive social circles. To, now, falling in love with chatbots.

We should go back to actually collectively sharing people for that. Push them back into their own little pockets of the internet. That’s stuff that would happen and stay on tumblr back in the days, with the occasional 4chan meme.

[–] Saledovil@sh.itjust.works 14 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Thing is, Lemmy is the pocket.

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 21 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

A tiny one at that. Whenever people talk about Lemmy being the revolution that will kill Reddit, it's a good thing to remember that the Crackberry forum has more active users than Lemmy.

Edit: That's not to say that Lemmy is bad by any means. It's nice, it's cosy, but it's by far not a mass movement.

We are a bunch of feral hounds howling at the moon. We are not bound by their leash but relatively speaking there aren't many of us. Personally I rather like it here though, I can say utterly unhinged and bloodthirsty shit that the mods usually don't respond to. By far an improvement over |Removed if you ask me.

I want to scalp house flippers for being gentrification pushing pissants, the only acceptable ones are the ones who basically take a house that is historical but in severe disrepair and more or less rebuild it. But those ones are usually associated with historical societies or are specialized in specific building methods. Also fuck people who paint over brickwork for no god damned reason.

Everytime I see an image like this I think, it wouldn’t be so sad if it was what the picture implied. As in a physical humanoid that was almost human in behaviour. Chat bots are soooo far from that.

Better or worse than being in love with Jesus?
