GPT-4o has severely damaged the minds of many individuals.
- Kim_Bruning 8mo agoNot false. But also helped some who were already damaged. I wonder what's the netto?
- nullc 8mo agoThe people who consent to being subjected to the LLMs aren't the only people impacted. If they were, a cost vs benefit analysis makes more sense. LLM driven delusion is driving people to harass others, even commit murder... and, less cosmically, gum up communities, online forums, and open source projects with gonzo conspiracy laden abuse.

Some creepy people, you're really glad they've at least <Found Christ>. It's a good thing Christ doesn't have a plug.

For example: Silly Tavern users with jailbreaking, advanced prompting, and paramter hyper-optimization. Maybe that wouldn't appeal to this kind of user anyway, since it'd peek too much into the sausage factory? Who knows.
