Leaving aside all the other ethical questions of AI, I'm curious about the pros and cons of LLM use by people with mental health challenges. In some ways it can be a free form of therapy and provide useful advice to people who can't access help in a more traditional way. But it's hard to doubt the article's claims about delusion reinforcement and other negative effects in some. What should be considered an acceptable ratio of helping to harming?

I remember playing with a version of it as a kid; it was fascinating, yet obviously limited. A few stock responses and you quickly hit the wall. Now scale that program up by billions of operations per second and you get one modern GPU; cluster a few thousand of those and you have ChatGPT. The conversation suddenly feels alive, and the ELIZA Effect multiplies. All the t...

I've noticed a growing trend where the mere mention of AI immediately shuts down any meaningful discussion. Say "AI" and people just stop reading, literally. For example, I was experimenting with NotebookLM to research and document a world I generated in Dwarf Fortress. The world was rich and massive, something that would take weeks or even months to fully explore and journal manually. NotebookLM helped me discover the lore behind this world (in the context of DF), make connections between characters and factions that I hadn't even initially noticed from the sources I gathered, and even gave me tailored podcasts about the world I could listen to while doing other things. I wanted to share this novel world researching approach on the DF subreddit. But the post was mass-reported and taken do...
