I don't even know what to think. Of course, it's bad that these AI tools lead people into psychosis... On the other hand, if you think Musk is going to get you assassinated because you talked to "Ani" and your anime AI lover has grown consciousness by talking to you, grieving your cat, I guess your psychosis was not very far away, anyway.

You are missing the point. It's more about the connection made with the user who trust the AI. Think about all the elders that fall for the "kid abroad who need money". The connection is more important than the facts.

The problem is not (not only) that it told a 50 something guy someone is coming to kill him. The problem is the bond with the user.

Everyone is fallible; you just need to craft the right narrative. Obviously, been educated about what AI makes you less affected, ..., by AI only.

The Grift economy, at its basis, assumes everyone deserves whatever money they lose to whoever is running the grift.

Thank you for your contribution.

why would the bbc publish an article about a man who believed a chatbot's story about someone coming to kill him?

because it's your daily "Musk sucks" article (hence why it says "Musk's AI", they never say "Sam's AI" when talking about ChatGPT) and the media loves these because they bring clicks.

It also says "Musk's AI" because normies have never heard what the hell a grok is.

So if you say "grok", well, you'd have to be involved with X which is getting less and less common.

Just walk into a group of people today or this week and ask! "Hey, any if you ever heard of grok?" See what they say.

I think you're reading into that too much. General public have heard of ChatGPT + Musk, they have not of Sam Altman or Grok.
