Painfully accurate 😮‍💨

Same. And what a week it's been.

Everyone is focused on ChatGPT, but it was *the cops* who murdered the son, even after they were warned in advance that he was having a mental health crisis.

That struck me as well. Nobody in this story has much agency (I'm excepting the kid with mental problems).

Damn. DAMN.

Like people have been saying:

Butlerian Jihad. Now.

“Chat, what is Butlerian Jihad”

Flash forward to the smoldering ruins of my home.

every other line is just a worse gutpunch than the last, jesus

Indeed. I am still processing

whimsicalsquirrel.bsky.social•3 days ago

The sunsetting of humanity. What else can you call it.

frozenpillar.bsky.social•3 days ago

that last paragraph is just the ending to a horror story

caseyhartman.bsky.social•3 days ago

Definite tag for a sequel.

AI is a tool, just like the Internet or TV. In the same way that TV and then the Internet has irrevocably changed the mental health of a lot of Americans so too will A.I.

chunkylumplump.bsky.social•3 days ago

Same with hammers

sherribells.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ugh 🤯

That last paragraph sounds like a black mirror episode

amk58.bsky.social•3 days ago

Intensely unsettling. 500 million users—and fluency with it is required on job applications? The tech overlords scraped our work from the internet and it’s been weaponized against us.

That last paragraph, man. It’s the equivalent to “Last time I voted for Trump, he deported my husband. Surely he’ll do right by me this time.”

I knew what was coming and it still dropped me to my knees.

My God.

Out out damn spot

noclownzone.bsky.social•3 days ago

this is why I'm never touching chat GPT... ever. unfortuately I'm just one old man

profusional.bsky.social•3 days ago

I read a different account of a similar type of situation with ChatGPT and it’s horrifying. There is evil in the programming that they are bringing to people.

fucking hell

domenick-ev.bsky.social•3 days ago

Jesus.

mrsaver.bsky.social•3 days ago

Dude this SOUNDS like it was written by chatgpt

Man, mental illness is so brutal

trumancapps.bsky.social•3 days ago

wooooof

This is dark as hell - but from someone with family members who have reality related mental health issues: I’m not sure if GPT is to blame here. Basically anything can become the source of someone’s delusions.

various-threnodies.bsky.social•3 days ago

Butlerian Jihad now

twotime2equals4.bsky.social•3 days ago

jesus christ

What the hell have we done to ourselves?
