Heyy, this is sour-stardust! I use all pronouns except she/her. I'm a therian (crow + tuxedo cat) and an otherkin/pokemonkin (Jolteon), but I don't post about it often. I post my art, I reblog a LOT, and sometimes I write text posts too. I hop around different fandoms, and my posts usually focus on 1-2 of my interests at a time.

I don't have a specific DNI, at least for now. If I don't like you (this mostly applies to bots and bigots), I'll block you.

♤ Joker, curled in on himself, sitting on the ground in an alleyway. It's raining, and there are streaks in his signature clown makeup ♤
♡ Joker, laughing to himself, but its coming out as sad little whimpers. "Hah...hahh...." He chuckles wetly to himself. So wet, he tears♡
◇ Joker, crying as he looks at himself in a puddle, asking himself, "why... so serious...?" And it makes him smile a little. But then, he goes back to He's cries ◇
♧ Joker, alone. No one asking if he's okay, because then, he'll just laugh. And also poison Gotham's water supply. ♧
Just SHUTT UP. Not a necessary fucking addition. This is why I don't fuck with the gay community on tumblr anymore. Why don't you do something meaningful with your life like compete a Stuart Little lookalike contest? I bet you'd win. I bet you look like a mouse. Fucker
AI Psychosis and the implications of its existence
Actually as shitty as the existence of AI psychosis is, the implications of it are FUCKING MIND-BOGGLING in actually a really revolutionary way.
("WTF are you talking about?" / "What do we currently know about AI psychosis?": x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x, x)
People experiencing "ChatGPT psychosis" are being involuntarily committed to mental hospitals and jailed following AI mental health crises.

Like, as someone who works professionally editing mental health books, the existence of AI psychosis almost certainly completely upends our understandings of how mental health disorders work. And their causes.
There's a non-zero chance the discovery/existence of AI psychosis is like. going to be/lead to more or less the mental health equivalent of inventing germ theory.
Like, we went from only sort of beginning to suspect to having actual, literal, indisputable proof that you can go from not having a psychotic disorder to having a psychotic disorder literally just from talking too much to a very aggrandizing source and/or echo chamber
THAT SEVERELY UPENDS OUR UNDERSTANDING OF THE DEVELOPMENT AND ORIGINS OF MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS
**Note: I am using "psychotic" and "psychotic disorders" in their technical definition here, which is simply "involves experiencing breaks from reality." Because, contrary to all the stigma and misinformation, that's the literal/actual definition (x, x, x)
And like, obviously, in at least many cases, there would be/often are genetic, environmental, or trauma factors that are putting their thumbs on the scale there. But we know for a fact that a number of people who have developed AI psychosis do not have a previous record of mental health issues.
But the tipping factor for at least dozens of people, we now know for a fact, was talking to an AI chatbot. And we have a complete record of what was said for almost every single one of those cases, because, among other things, OpenAI / ChatGPT is now LEGALLY REQUIRED to preserve ALL CHAT TRANSCRIPTS, even if users delete them, until the court says otherwise (x, x, x).
(Which will be, by the way, years, at a minimum - that may have started with a copyright lawsuit, but there will be so many other AI lawsuits and investigations, including about AI psychosis, in the EU if not the US - this will go on for a while)
Anyway, yeah, good news in the long term for the understanding and treatment of mental health disorders
In the short term, seriously, please don't use chatbots for at least another couple of years, as a safety precaution
At least until they've sorted this shit out and (HOPEFULLY) figured out how to make this shit stop happening (and then, hopefully, actually implemented those changes).
Just call it a basic safety precaution - especially if you have any sort of neurodivergence and/or any history or family history of hallucinations, delusions, schizophrenia / schizo-spectrum, psychotic spectrum disorders, etc.
All of this will, I strongly suspect, be incredibly validating to a great many trauma survivors, abuse survivors, cult survivors, and members of the mad community
And it will hopefully really transform our understanding of how to understand and treat mental health issues, and particularly psychotic disorders, in really, really profound and positive ways. Which would be great, bc we're pretty fucking shit at understanding and treating them right now!
ChatGPT has encouraged/convinced people to commit suicide. When I looked it up, I was searching for a particular incident, only to find a new article about an apparently different suicide that had happened.
These chatbots are not safe to interact with. Don't use them
Something that I have noticed is I know almost nobody my age that goes to a food pantry. I know people who regularly run out of money for food and in general have to eat an unsuitable diet because that’s what they can afford and they still don’t go to a food bank, im not sure if it’s because they’re embarrassed or maybe if you didn’t grow up going you don’t know much about it but if you’re financially struggling I really recommend it. And look into other options for food assistance too like community fridges and gardens and other programs that can assist you, where I live Salvation Army pays for an allotted amount of grocery delivery for low income people every month, in the summer farmers take excess produce to the library to be taken by anyone who needs it, etc. There are a LOT of resources for free food that you can look into especially if you are literally not eating because of your financial situation
