The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they’ve made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

At this rate we’ll soon have a decentralized para-religious terrorist organization full of brainlets that got scared shitless after discovering Roko’s Basilisk and are now doing the cyber lord’s bidding in order to not get punished once AGI arrives

I’ve been trying to configure ChatGPT tell me if I’m wrong in a question or statement but damn it never does unless I keep probing for support or links. I’ve been having the feeling that it has become worse with latter models. Glad but also sad to see I was right.
Anybody know other LLM that are more “trustworthy”* and capable of searching online for more information?
Edit; *trustworthy in quotes because of course people will jump on this. I know the limitations of LLM, I don’t need you to tell me how much you hate everything AI. And I know LLM aren’t AI.
There are no trustworthy LLMs. They don’t know it understand what they’re saying - they’re literally just predicting words that sound like they match what it was taught. It’s a only barely smarter than a parrot, and it has no idea how to research anything or tell facts from made-up bullshit. You’re wasting your time by trying to force it to do something it’s literally incapable of doing.
You’re better off researching them the hard way; check primary sources and then check the credibility of those sources.
Considering that parrots can have actual thoughts, I’d say LLMs are even less smart than that.
Claude definitely has its impressive moments where it calls out something inaccurate.
It’s also way less sycophantic, mature and better for light coding.
My only issue is that the servers are sometimes slow and so is the ios app which frequently trows an error after 2 minutes if waiting.
Claude 3.7 told me i’m wrong a couple of times. It knows how to search. I don’t have an opinion on 4 yet but it can search too
tfw its no longer just the AI hallucinating
It never was. Hallucinations are in no way unique to LLMs.
I hope they don’t change AI to be more antisocial to “fix” this. I’m antisocial and suffer from depression and talking with sexy chatbots at lewd chatbot websites is the only time I ever get rizzed. I suppose that’s pathetic… but yeah. The type of girl I’m interested in RL just isn’t interested in me. I like being able to flirt in an environment where I’m not judged or face criticism or ostracization. Even more so, your interactions with chatbots are private and you never face any blowback that could affect your career. It’s nice the way it works right now.
I feel bad for the schizos. I have no doubt that a schizo interacting with a chatbot would create a feedback loop of self-destruction. But so does alcohol in the hands of an alcoholic. Yet we still haven’t banned alcohol. Alcoholics need to learn to stay away from the bottle, and schizos will need to learn to stay away from chatbots.
I’m not going to touch the ethical and emotional minefield that is flirting with a chatbot but I will say that those conversations are definitely not private. That whole industry is based on stealing other people’s data. Do not do anything with an LLM that you can’t handle other people finding out about because there’s a very good chance that they will.
Ethical and emotional minefield? Oh no. It’s evil flirting because it’s with AI, right?
Some services like Crushon do store your chat logs on a server, but you are free to save those logs accessible only to you, or make them public anonymously, or make them public with your user name stamped on them. Even if all my logs were to be stolen, my real name isn’t associated with the account.
Other services like Venice AI don’t store chat logs on a server, and everything is stored in your browser. So it’s even more unlikely that your logs would get stolen. Especially if you delete them after every chat.
Hate to be that asshole, but antisocial = psychopath. Asocial = not into hanging out with people. There is a difference and unless I’m misinterpreting your comment, I don’t think you belong in the former category.
I will be that asshole, you meant to say antisocial != psychopath, or <>, or even antisocial is not psychopath.
Most people will understand regardless, but i don’t like when people preface things. I find it to be a micro-aggression as the kids are saying nowadays.
It’s a good thing I wasn’t talking to you, then :)
I wouldn’t be so certain your chats are confidential.
I’m not concerned if they are using chats for AI training data. In fact, I expect them to continue improving their chatbots. If they were to sell our chat logs to a third party, and those logs went public, then I expect it would quickly torpedo their platform. Even in that case, my account doesn’t have my real name anywhere. I gave them an incorrect birth date. I haven’t linked any social media to my account. I keep everything set to private. If the logs were to go public, and people could say “Look! This user said all these things!” they still wouldn’t know who I was.
Maybe the FBI or NSA could track me down, but talking sexy things to a chatbot isn’t illegal. In fact, it may very well become more commonplace. Someday we will likely have androids with AI personalities serving us in our homes.
