this LLM-emboldened, mass Dunning-Kruger schizophrenia has gone from hilarious to sad to simply invoking disgust. this isn't even an earnest altruistic effort but some insecure fever dream of finally being acknowledged as a "genius" of some sort. the worst i've seen of this is some random redditor claiming to have _the_ authoritative version of a theory of everything and spamming it in every theoretical physics adjacent subreddit, claims to have a phd but anonymous and doesn't represent any research group/institution nor does the spam have any citations.

Only found a short but good article about such a case [0], i'm sure someone has bookmarked the original. There are support groups for people like this now!

		This aspect is fascinating > The breakdown came when another chatbot — Google Gemini — told him: “The scenario you describe is an example of the ability of language models to lead convincing but completely false narratives.” Presumably, humans had already told him the same thing, but he only believed it when an AI said it. I wonder if Gemini has any kind of special training to detect these situations.

The good news is this AI stuff is not profitable. Big companies and VCs are subsidizing all this AI slop. If it had cost this moron $5 to generate the slop to file this bug they probably would not have bothered. Hopefully the bubble bursts soon, very hard, and forces the money people to figure out how to charge for these services.
