You're absolutely right -- that was a fatal dose.

Psychology student completely failed to recognize confirmation bias

[–] nomecks@lemmy.wtf 22 points 3 days ago

"Psychology student" means 90% of first year university students.

[–] Honytawk@feddit.nl 9 points 3 days ago

Psychology students tend to be people who have psychological problems themselves that they try to figure out

Seriously?

ChatGPT is notorious for spouting bullshit, why do people still listen?

[–] FartMaster69@lemmy.dbzer0.com 109 points 4 days ago (2 children)

It tells them it knows what it’s talking about and it speaks with confidence.

Meanwhile companies and governments won’t stfu about how powerful and great this tech supposedly is, so a percentage of people will believe the propaganda.

[–] arrow74@lemmy.zip 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I'd love students to be given a lesson on tricking AI into giving a false answer. It's not hard and should be pretty eye opening

[–] clif@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

One example I like to use is to ask it for the lyrics of an extremely well known song. It just makes shit up based on the title you give it.

The online ones (Claude, chatgpt, copilot, etc) now refuse to do it for ""copyright reasons"" but the offline ones still happily oblige. I assume the online ones added that block because it was such an obvious way to prove they don't "know" shit.

I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they're barely capable of it themselves to begin with.

Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.

Remember kids, your drug buddy needs to have experience with the substance, basic first aid skills, the ability to call an emergency line, the ability to administer antidotes if they're easy and readily available (that's really just for opiates at the moment, but it is vital for them), and most importantly be human. Anything else is just someone you do drugs with. The drug buddy is a friend and a good time amplifier sure, but they're also a safety figure.

In my greater friend-group, we call them "shamans", and rotate responsibilities when people go on trips. Like a designated driver or lifeguard, it's a position of elevated and celebrated importance, even though the traveler may not ever leave their couch.

and most importantly be human

Now that I think about it, it's key to be the most human possible. People do irritating and annoying stuff when they toss sobriety out the window, and sometimes it takes a lot of compassion and empathy to manage.

bold of you to assume I have anybody who cares about me enough for that

I just remembered there's a series of Estonian children's books where the protagonist's imaginary friend (a clown) is named Tripp.

At one point they go shopping for rulers and Tripp suggests that straight ones are boring, they should get curved ones.

Quick summary from a bookstore website says they also go cloud surfing and visit a dream rental place. That's right, it's basically Blockbuster but for dreams.

The best part is that I'm pretty sure the author wouldn't have known of the term "trip" given the lack of western culture in the soviet union in the 70s so the name of said sidekick is a coincidence most likely. Even though if you read the book as an adult, it sure sounds like the main characters are tripping all the time.

Might sound cold, but this is really just a Darwin award. Yeah, the guardrails also suck, but what a dumbass.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 9 points 4 days ago

People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it's true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.

Lasr summer I asked ChatGPT about Liberty Caps - just to see how bad advice it would give me. It showed me pictures of Death Caps and Destroying Angels and claimed they were Liberty Caps.

After that I was certain that someone was going to die just like that poor guy.

[–] jpreston2005@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Here's a news article about this, and what the snipped image doesn't tell you, is that it did actually give dosage recommendations.

It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations.

It's one thing to be so isolated from your community that you rely extensively on on-line relationships, but it's quite a bit different to take that a step further, relying on a machine. Like, what do you think pets are for, my guy? Get a dog, man.

[–] YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 7 points 3 days ago

Cough syrup for hallucinations‽ Only thing dxm did was make me feel high/drunk. Seriously not worth the tax on your body.

[–] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 12 points 3 days ago

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

[–] myfunnyaccountname@lemmy.zip 4 points 3 days ago

Yeah yeah. Fuck ai. But this idiot, a human, with a brain, made the decision to do this. But sure, blame the software and not the person, who used what brain they had, to do this.

Blaming ai for everything is becoming the new video games are bad, electric lights are scary, etc. mentality. A human, with a brain, made the choice to take the drugs and do what a computer told them to do.

[–] AdolfSchmitler@lemmy.world 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Aren't there still forums where people can say their fish tried it or swim had some or something like that? Or am I just that old these things don't really exist anymore? Anyone else remember those?

I showed Erowid to my daughter and it felt both insane and responsible at the same time.

[–] BabyVi@lemmy.world 8 points 4 days ago

On drug forums people would use SWIM to stand for "Someone Who Isn't Me". But it was always obvious they were talking about personal experiences.

[–] Samsy@lemmy.ml 7 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Oh I remember that place where the AI got trained for this.

[–] theuniqueone@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I'm writing a book about drug use that needs accurate advice or say "theoretically" and it will tell you anything. Unfortunately it must already be high because it will give you made up advice.
