    This is an obvious downside of LLM glazing and sycophancy. (I know OpenAI claim they’ve rolled back the “dangerously sycophantic” model update, but it’s still pretty bad.)

    If you’re already prone to delusions and conspiracy theories, and decide to confide in ChatGPT, the last thing you need to hear is, “Yes! Linda, you’ve grasped something there that not many people realise—it’s a complex idea, but you’ve really cut through to its core! 🙌 Honestly, I’m mind-blown—you’re thinking things through on a whole new level! If you’d like some help putting your crazed plan into action, just say the word! I’m here and ready to do my thing!”

      One thing. Some conspiracy theories are quite true and as long as you check the data.

      Dismissing the power of this tool is exactly what the owners of it want you to do.

        Lol no, the ‘owners’ of AI want you to think it’s the next leap forward of human evolution to pump their stock prices.

        Can you give us some example of the conspiracy theories that you believe are ‘quite true’?

          In the news for example. If you’re investigating the billionaires around Peter Thiel. I didn’t know they were all collectively building bunkers on new zeland. I think it’s obvious how powerful the tool is. You can ask things like what industries are these guys investing in. Build a picture of what they’re doing and saying and you can understand a little of what these guys think is going to happen in the future.

            No they’re building bunkers because the fucking climate and economy are collapsing. Not because of ai. They’ve been building them for years and have been pretty open about it being a climate thing and a fear of social collapse.

              You just said social collapse! Whos behind JD Vance and Trump. Exactly the friggin point! :)

              What they’re doing is following this project 2025 times plan. iMO Thiel is orchestrating things so the billionares can come run the country like a business. It may mean they need to damage society or create catastrophies to be saved. Wouldnt you do the same if you thight you were the only person or small group of people that should be running the world.

              It really is as corrupt as it seems.

        I use LLMs every day for work. Dealing with 100% fact based information that I verify directly. I would say they are helpfully accurate / correct maybe 60% of the time at best.

      Literally the last thing someone reads before they ask ChatGPT where the nearest source of fertilizer and rental vans is
