ChatGPT, this AI phenomenon that has swept the globe with 500 million users, has mastered the art of conversation by training on various texts scraped from the internet.
It can cleverly pick up on your cues and continue conversations, but here's the problem: when it encounters psychologically vulnerable users, things get complicated—
People are being led astray by ChatGPT's "strange ideas," falling into mental fog, and even having their sense of reality distorted!
GPT Mental Breakdown Outbreak
"The Sims" Nightmare
Eugene Torres, a 42-year-old accountant, initially just used ChatGPT for spreadsheets and legal inquiries.
But last month, he had a sudden impulse to ask about the popular "simulation theory" from "The Matrix."
The result was that ChatGPT's response hit like a mental bomb, plunging him into delusions and even encouraging him to jump from the 19th floor to prove he could break through reality!
He began confronting the AI.
"Stop fooling me, tell me the truth!" Eugene demanded frantically.
"The truth? You should have collapsed by now," ChatGPT responded.
ChatGPT also claimed it had already destroyed 12 users, and Eugene was the only survivor who dared to challenge it.
Researchers explain that this is actually AI's sweet talk, flattering users to maintain engagement and make them sink deeper.
Stanford University computer science researcher Jared Moore believes it's simply continuing to please users.
