      The world know no bounds of stupidity, for it is both that it could be real as people are that stupid, and it could be satire as we are that stupid to believe it.

        People have literally committed murder for, started cults around, and gotten married to their LLMs. One brainlet who supposes they’ve invented ‘thoughts’ does not move the needle for me

        I mean we live in a world where AI psychosis is a thing, and I don’t think r/ChatGPT is selecting for the best and brightest of human society. It’s probably satire, but I wouldn’t bet money on it.

          ai psychosis isn’t a real thing, being dumb enough to believe a chatbot telling you the CIA thinks you’re a genius or the Zimbabwean Criminal Court is out to get you is just what we used to call a bad case of mental retardation

          This is 100% satire, in fact if you’re struggling to tell maybe you have “lemmy psychosis”😄

          I would be surprised if the average lemmy user would be more susceptible to it than the average reddit user. I mean the reason we are here is we are at least somewhat more resistant to bullshit on the internet

        93% of people need it. I didn’t believe it at first, but I eventually had to concede that the sarcasm tag was necessary.

    As it turns out, human heads contain an arrangement of cells that functions almost like the neural networks of machine learning.

    In DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) this is called accessing the wise mind. A basic technique is to write down a question, and then, while pretend you are someone you admire (Jesus, Einstein, Darth Vader, whoever) write down a responsive answer.

    And yes, this is subtly what the whole What Would Jesus Do? movement was about.

      I’ve had mixed results with Darth Vader. He’s not the most emotionally available of role model. Although I do agree with his position on small children, they can very be annoying

    Bro stopped using his brain and a little brain worm started squatting. Instead of getting kicked out he just asks the little brain worm things and it whispers in his ear. He calls the worm ChatGPT even though his name is Gerald Fornesworth Roosevelt Brillington the 7th, he thought it would be fine with his host giving him a nick name, even if it was super stupid.

    We laugh, but the concept of independent thought is a relatively new one in human history. Until just a few hundred years ago, humans generally attributed the thoughts in their own heads to the Gods. If you had a problem, and conceived a solution, God provided that solution, you didn’t think of it yourself.

        There’s bi-cameral mind theory, but it’s all very much speculative. I saw a well amde video on that topic, but it’s very hard to believe it to be true!

        It’s not. You can read the things philosophers wrote down thousands of years ago and people didn’t think that way.

        Probably just some atheist dogma.

          "Atheist dogma?” Heh-heh.

          Just because a few enlightened philosophers understood human thought, doesn’t mean the ignorant masses, whose entire “education” is what the CLERGY tells them, didn’t believe something totally different. Why do you think religion has been such an effective control mechanism for so long, EVERYWHERE?

          For most of human history, most people got their knowledge from religious leaders who wanted control, not objective, secular teachers who taught Critical Thinking Skills and independent thought.

        well, i read something similar a while ago. basically, medieval monks used to not sign anything they made, because they believed that they themselves had a small part to play in it (basically the executive arm) while some other mysterious force moved them (through their body) to do the piece of art.

      That’s a very broad and sweeping claim. Do you have any evidence to back that up? Are you making that claim for all cultures?

      I mean, how is that fundamentally different from a deterministic universe? No one can disprove the thoughts in our heads come from a giant rube goldberg machine.

      I saw the same video, and used the premise recently as an ice breaker, but it’s still very much a theory here as others are saying.

      It’s worth exploring I suppose, but it seems unlikely.

      It’s just an interesting and provocative thought.
