Anyone consulting LLMs for anything already had a preexisting psychological condition called Stupid as Fuck.
You get totally different answers to “is X healthy” vs “is X unhealthy”
But yeah, if ChatGPT tells you to order restricted substances on the internet, probably don’t do that

so what am I supposed to do with my 3.8 tons of gunpowder now??
Mix it with water and finger paint on a 12’ by 12’ canvas
Then do a big art attack
The thing that bothers me about LLMs is that people will acknowledge the hallucinations and lies LLMs spit out when their discussing information the user is familiar with.
But that same person will somehow trust an LLM as an authority on subjects to which they’re not familiar. Especially on subjects that are on the edges or even outside human knowledge.
Sure I don’t listen when it tells me to make pizza with glue, but it’s ideas about Hawking radiation are going to change the field.
The same used to be said of newspapers (and still ought to be). That is, it’s funny how accurate and informative they appear to be until the topic changes to something about which you have intimate knowledge.
The logical leap to generalise from that is impossible for far too many people and is also an easy trap for those who can make it.
They don’t realize that the chatbot’s “ideas” about hawking radiation were also just posted by a crank on Reddit.
This is literally the Dunning-Kruger effect in action - people can’t evaluate the quality of AI responses in domains where they lack the knowledge to spot the bs.
After years of bullshit, corruption and nepotism, we as a society (or a critical mass of it) accepted that lies and bullshit is a part of life.
I really think that’s what is going on here, we filled our reality with contradictions and things that drive us crazy, now a large percentage of the population are okay listening to inefficient guessing machines.
Seriously, the fact that hallucinations didn’t kill the hype is, imo, a hallmark of being in a post truth era.
This is not the mindset that made computers and the Internet. Feels more like late stage Rome.
A man uses the internet to poison himself. The story as old as time But if we stick the AI in the title, we can get some sweet clicks out if it.
Yup reads exactly the same.
He did his own research! /s
Oh fun! When Americans lose their healthcare I expect these kind of stories to rise.
These days we call it bruhmism.
Took too much Natrium Bruhmide
It sounds more like a crazy person did a crazy thing and happened to use AI.
I told my wife about this story and she told me that everything on the internet should be taken with a grain of salt. I told her this guy took a few too many grains.
Finally evolution back in effect
Ah, the sleepy salt
He missed out on the darwin award too.
