    A lot more interesting than I was expecting it to be, and I watched this same guy drive to every Rainforest Cafe.

    It's a good thing he knew it was all fake because it's pretty scary how quickly it feeds into delusion. I do wish he hadn't rolled back to GPT4 though as some of the people that need to see this most would probably just go "well they fixed it in 5 so my chat bot is not a problem." That and for personal amusement I would've liked to see how much work it took to get the model with supposedly improved guardrails to plow right through them.

    I was kinda disappointed. The way he baited AI to give him unhinged suggestions was a bit too self aware/goal oriented. It didn't really give me a good explanation for the AI-lead-paranoia. The AI psychosis is the interesting part, not that it plays along with your prompts.

    The hat bit was good though. Fun video.

      I mean, if Eddy Burback was privy to some kind of paranoia or psychosis, playing along with your prompts is what feeds into the delusion isn't it?

        I guess. It just felt forced and unnatural. I didn't come away from this video with any more insight into the phenomenon which I was hoping for.

        The video could've used less eating baby food and other stuff and just explored the actual relationship between AI and mildly delusional but relatively normal human (which would mean some push back against AI's weirdness).

        But that's just my take. It's not necessarily the right one.

          If it was just a youtuber talking to an AI for an hour we may not have knowm about the video at all. Eating baby food and going to Bakersfield is how the word actually gets spread.

          I don't blame the player so much as the game here.

    Okay, good video, but like. He didn't have to eat all that baby food, or drink from a bottle. Did he?

        You don't spend time in Bakersfield. You lose time in Bakersfield.
