The moderators of a pro-artificial intelligence Reddit community announced that they have been quietly banning “a bunch of schizoposters” who believe “they’ve made some sort of incredible discovery or created a god or become a god,” highlighting a new type of chatbot-fueled delusion that started getting attention in early May.

    Based on the self description of that community, calling others schizotypical is some incredibly pot calling the kettle shit. A community focused on the “singularity” that formed to ban “decels” because they couldn’t operate within the same space complaining about these other guys being too strange and out there.

      Schizotypal here, please leave us out of both groups. Looking for stuff to call god on the outside is more of an OCD and normie thing, “please, universe, unveil your rules so that I may follow” and “please, skydaddy, hug me”, respectively. We’re self-directed with our nonsense.
