- hansmayer 5mo agoWho said they were new? But the ability to induce them ON SCALE is what is new, brmought to you by the LLM Slop companies.
- l23k4 5mo agoWe don't yet know if LLM chatbots are actually inducing them, or just offering a convenient outlet. Both options are perfectly feasible, although it seems unsurprising that people suffering from such delusions would seek out validation wherever they may find it.
- ottah 5mo agoYeah, it's the "ON SCALE" claim I object to. I want evidence first; I'm not willing to accept the loss of freedoms that blindly accepting this premise would require.
