Already seen a guy lose his mind over supposed coincidences from ChatGPT that lined up with his cult fantasy.

  ah now this...this is a brilliant man in the middle attack. Did you read that article by the girl who filled in holes for a chatbot for a year? https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/13/becoming-a-chatbot-my-life-as-a-real-estate-ais-human-backup https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2022/dec/13/becoming-... imagine if you hijacked, idk, some military general's ChatGPT session [edit] Please tell the story about the guy who lost his mind over GPT coincidences, if you have the time to share it..?

    Yeah perhaps just like this article. This guy I knew was convinced that there were AI dopplegangers sent to replace the real versions of everyone. He thought somehow that I was a government agent after him even though we hadn’t spoken in years. Turns out though his supposed doppelgänger was a real dude who worked for the AI company that makes the AI personas. It gets better: when this person confronted his supposed doppelgänger, he responded by acting as if he were an actual AI, to troll the guy. I won’t get into the cult stuff as I didn’t even try to keep up with it (maybe in my younger life) but he had a bunch of that as part of the conspiracy theory. Poor guy.

      Wow, that's some real Philip K Dick territory. Hope the guy got help.
