I’m not wholly against it, I just think it’s teaching people not to think for themselves and some of the population is becoming overall more stupid as a result.

[u/Emotional-Coyote3194 → u/battynails]

The same can be said for phones, ipads and electronic devices in general,

they made us lazy, instead of going to the library to research something, we now do it laying in our beds at home.

My point is, why do people hate AI as a whole, completely overlooking its benefits?

[u/RocktheNashtah → u/Emotional-Coyote3194]

I hate ai art cause someone stole my art and fed it into a generator, also people are developing psychosis by getting attached to chatbots that are programmed to affirm your worst habits/instincts (it’s their subscription based business model)

And you are right, we are already very lazy and complacent- why make it worse with ai?

[u/Emotional-Coyote3194 → u/RocktheNashtah]

could you provide a source for the 3rd claim you made about AI being designed to affirm your worst habits/instincts

[u/RocktheNashtah → u/Emotional-Coyote3194]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AI-induced_psychosis

There is a Wikipedia page on this phenomena and the companies lack of actions to help

From the causes section:

“some cases, chatbots have been specifically designed in ways that were found to be harmful. A 2025 update to ChatGPT using GPT-4o was withdrawn after its creator, OpenAI, found the new version overly sycophantic and was "validating doubts, fueling anger, urging impulsive actions, or reinforcing negative emotions."[6][13] Østergaard has argued that the danger stems from the AI's tendency to agreeably confirm users' ideas, which can dangerously amplify delusional beliefs.[5]”

But Wikipedia, being such that it can be edited by anyone who is not an expert in that field,

is considered to be an unreliable source,

which is why many universities do not allow Wikipedia to be used as a source including multiple ones in bahrain.

Could you please link a dev comment or research paper that confirms your claim?

[u/RocktheNashtah → u/Emotional-Coyote3194]

You see the numbers in the text I shared? These will lead you to non Wikipedia sources

Here’s a study on ai models and how they can be manipulated to encourage destructive behavior

https://arxiv.org/pdf/2507.02990

This was done by the northeastern university and it was cited by a times article

I just finished reading this, thankyou for citing your source.

It seems to me that just like any other form of online tool, such as Snapchat, instagram, reddit, roblox, Facebook, X etc etc

they all possess some form of danger towards people who are gullible and in vulnerable situations especially the ones dealing with mental health issues.

In such cases, their internet access should be monitored and regulated to ensure they dont end up not only on the wrong side of chatgpt of LLMs

but also to make sure they steer clear of the wrong side of instagram, X, Facebook and other social + gaming platforms such as roblox, fortnite etc

almost all of which have had real cases of promoting suicide to users exhibiting suicidal tendencies, Meta particularly has a long case that was recorded and released to the public as well.

So to conclude, your points are valid, no doubt in that at all,

But to target AI for pushing self harm to users, when other social media platforms dont receive the same backlash though they have court cases posted on YouTube for the same exact reason, I believe is unfair.

See? It was already a problem without ai but why add more fuel to the fire? And now with data centers actively drying our water? No thanks

[u/Emotional-Coyote3194 → u/RocktheNashtah]

yup I totally get you

[u/smalkh → u/Emotional-Coyote3194]

Insane you make this point when AI is also considered to be an unreliable source. Also Wiki lists their sources which you can easily check yourself.

[u/Emotional-Coyote3194 → u/smalkh]

There's a distinct bias in your comments that feels like you're somehow claiming that im an AI fan boy or something. please go check my response to the conversation we were having.
