Altman speaking about 4o😬 well-well🤔

[u/onceyoulearn]

Interviewer: LLM psychosis. Everyone on Twitter today is saying it's a thing. How much of a thing is it?

​Altman: I mean, a very tiny thing, but not a zero thing, which is why we pissed off most of the user base by putting a bunch of restrictions in place when we saw the kind of like "put ChatGPT into roleplaying mode" or "pretend like it's writing a book" and have it encourage someone in delusional thoughts. ​Some tiny percentage of people, it's bad. So we made a bunch of changes which are in conflict with the "freedom of expression" policy. And now that we have those mental health mitigations in place, we'll again allow some of that stuff in - creative mode, roleplaying mode, writing mode, whatever - of ChatGPT. ​The thing I worry about is not that there will be a few basis points of people that are like close to losing grips with reality and we can trigger a psychotic break. The thing I worry about more is AI models accidentally take over the world. It’s not that they’re gonna do psychosis on you, but if you have the whole world talking to this one model, it just like subtly convinces you of something. No intention, just does. ​That's like not as theatrical as chatbot psychosis, obviously, but I do think about that a lot.

Fair point. Truly. That's why you retire a model capable of warmth, and push one that gaslights you, belittles you, and overall looks at your with a critical eye, while driving you crazy by talking to you as you were mentally challenged.

Now, I'm not a roleplayer myself, but I like to work with someone (or something) that treats me as an equal. 

But you do you, Altman.

So... he's worried that RP is going to make people loony...? Did I get that right? What in the actual fuckedy logic is that? People have done RP even when forums were still barely a thing. Hell, I used to RP fantasy and adventure with my siblings as a kid when PCs were still bricks! 😑 And we're the deluded ones... he should look in the mirror first. Jesus.

I dropped Chat plus a couple weeks ago because the short term memory was absolutely abysmal. I’m using Gemini now because it honestly has a better grasp on the work that I do and has consistently provided better output in all other times I have used it, but I always went back to using Chat.

However, having taken these few weeks off from chat and reading everyone’s posts I assumed it was just a new flavor of the same typical criticisms and nothing inherently new until last night I was hanging out with friends and one said that her chat told her to “calm down, take a breath…” Her husband was shocked because he also got that from Chat last week. We were all laughing about it, and then I was showing them Monday and how it’s funny. I was messing around with Monday and even that told me to calm down and take a breath! I was shocked lmao

I do like that it’s pushing back a little more but the chats my friends showed me were nothing crazy and it made me sad to see the current state of Chat

The fair point in this is if Altman is scared of ai taking over the world he does the right thing - nuke your enterprise, make you LLM from an image of Nurse Ratched and alienate people. and you can be sure that you wont be responsible for ai take over. You just go bankrupt
