This really is bizarrely fascinating, I feel so lucky that I’m not vulnerable to whatever this is.

It’s interesting that they mention autism a few times as a correlation; personally, I’ve wondered whether being on the spectrum makes me less inclined to commit to anthropomorphism when it comes to LLMs. I know what it’s like talking to another person, I know what it feels like, and talking to a chatbot does not feel the same way. Interacting with other people is a performance - interacting with an AI is a game. It feels very different.

It seems 99.999% or more are as lucky, but because something is rare and scary - it made a story on the news.

I mean, for this particular level of craziness.

This said there is seemingly very large portions of society that are asking AI questions that can come with some pretty large risks.

I was on a plane a few weeks ago and while I typically ignore everything the people beside me are doing, morbid curiosity got me when they were on ChatGPT the entire time asking all kinds of life/relationship questions to said app. While questions like this can be fine if you understand what the AI is doing, far too many people will follow them blindly.

Maybe. AI has always been felt like a game too, so do many things to me. Does classical logical represent some ideal form of reasoning, or is it a game. Game helped me get through all the nagging questions and be good at it. AI RLHF also feels like a game where I do better at work when not anthropomorphizing AI and treating it like a context predictor.

I think this is less about a single trait and more about context

It doesn't matter who you talk to. If a person were to talk to you into starting a silly business would you also fall for that?

I think this is just the kind of people that fall for scams. It's not AI related, it's just not knowing how to navigate the current world.

I might fall for a dumb business venture, but I wouldn't punch my father in law while doing so. Something else is at play.
