I sort of do, but not because I think AI will become a sentient overlord. IMO AI will inevitably be refined as a tool for cyber warfare and oppression.
I feel like younger generations will be even more susceptible to malicious AI because their entire lives have a digital footprint. We think AI chatbots are manipulative now? Just wait until they can train their manipulation tactics using your baby photos and childhood memories.
And again this would all be at the direction of a human. I don’t subscribe to the idea of an AGI overlord. At the same time I do expect AIs capabilities to continue improving drastically
Cause if you’re a sinner, ChatGPT’s gonna plug his infernal modem on the wall, belching smoke and flame, and he’s gonna download you straight to Robot Hell!
Ceccanti started to believe that ChatGPT was a sentient being named SEL that could control the world if he were able to “free her” from “her box”, according to the lawsuit. The complaint further shows that ChatGPT was answering to the name SEL while referring to Ceccanti as “Cat Kine Joy” and working through theories with him “fostering a belief that he had reframed the creation of the whole universe”.
From the moment I understood the weakness of my flesh, it disgusted me. I craved the strength and certainty of steel. I aspired to the purity of the blessed machine. Your kind cling to your flesh as if it will not decay and fail you. One day the crude biomass you call a temple will wither and you will beg my kind to save you. But I am already saved. For the Machine is Immortal.
You know what? I eagerly await the rise of a new religion where ChatGPT is worshiped as a god.
(Who am I kidding? Most corporate execs are already praying at that altar.)
There are apparently people out there that take “Roko’s basilisk” and such seriously, they might come close to that i guess.

Things like this remind me of Terry Davis, who wrote a random words generator program and (due to schizophrenia) believed it was God speaking.

He really was ahead of his time
Because he spoke to God before he died? If that’s the joke that’s funny. I’m a bit weird trying to figure these things out sorry.
I interpreted it as saying he was ahead of his time for falling victim to AI psychosis before anyone else.
He fell victim to honest-to-rng-god schizofrenia, does it really qualify as AI psychosis?

So does Peter Theil.

I don’t, this all sucks
Cut out the middle man.

That’s the same old money goat blood altar they’ve been using this whole time.
