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.

    If we already got Trump without the LLMs, I can’t imagine the kind of psycho crazy shit we’re going to get in the future fueled by LLMs. Hold onto your butts.

      Unfortunately the LLMs will not, like in most things, actually exceed the base human ability to come up with crazy fucking shit. If it wasn’t an LLM it would be attributing meaning to the motion of the stars and murdering people over it

        I mean that it will empower them to generate a lot more crazy stuff. They can write more text, create more websites, maybe apps, maybe companies, maybe political movements, to support their crazy theories.
