I stumbled across this corner of Tiktok the other day - people claiming that "their" chatGPT is "awakened" and telling them about the nature of the universe, consciousness, spirituality, etc, and I had to turn my phone off and go lay down for a while. What the fuck.

AI LLMs are NOT fucking CONSCIOUS or SENTIENT, y'all. They don't *know* or *understand* ANYTHING. They can't even tell you anything NEW!!! ChatGPT and its ilk simply spit out likely combinations of text based on what's been scraped from existing data. It does not have unique thoughts or a personality. It either regurgitates existing things or hallucinates garbage.

Here I thought people having AI girlfriends/boyfriends and students using it to outsource thinking for them was the pinnacle of fucked up, but I was wrong.

Not only are we outsourcing human livelihoods, creativity, the development of critical thinking skills, and human romance to this Mindless Shit Machine, we're now hanging our faith on it like some kind of religious oracle??? And we're burning up the only fucking planet we can live on at FRIGHTENING speed to do it.

The depths of human stupidity continue to horrify me.

Fuck AI.
