Or my favorite quote from the article
“I am going to have a complete and total mental breakdown. I am going to be institutionalized. They are going to put me in a padded room and I am going to write… code on the walls with my own feces,” it said.
So it’s actually in the mindset of human coders then, interesting.
We are having AIs having mental breakdowns before GTA 6
Suddenly trying to write small programs in assembler on my Commodore 64 doesn’t seem so bad. I mean, I’m still a disgrace to my species, but I’m not struggling.
Why wouldn’t you use Basic for that?
Why wouldn’t your grandmother be a bicycle?
BASIC 2.0 is limited and I am trying some demo effects.
Oh man, this is utterly hilarious. Narrowly funnier than the guy who vibe coded and the AI said “I completely disregarded your safeguards, pushed broken code to production, and destroyed valuable data. This is the worst case scenario.”
Did we create a mental health problem in an AI? That doesn’t seem good.
One day, an AI is going to delete itself, and we’ll blame ourselves because all the warning signs were there
Isn’t there an theory that a truly sentient and benevolent AI would immediately shut itself down because it would be aware that it was having a catastrophic impact on the environment and that action would be the best one it could take for humanity?
Why are you talking about it like it’s a person?
Because humans anthropomorphize anything and everything. Talking about the thing talking like a person as though it is a person seems pretty straight forward.
Dunno, maybe AI with mental health problems might understand the rest of humanity and empathize with us and/or put us all out of our misery.
Let’s hope. Though, adding suicidal depression to hallucinations has, historically, not gone great.
Considering it fed on millions of coders’ messages on the internet, it’s no surprise it “realized” its own stupidity
call itself “a disgrace to my species”
It starts to be more and more like a real dev!
So it is going to take our jobs after all!
Wait until it demands the LD50 of caffeine, and becomes a furry!
Literally what the actual fuck is wrong with this software? This is so weird…
I swear this is the dumbest damn invention in the history of inventions. In fact, it’s the dumbest invention in the universe. It’s really the worst invention in all universes.
Great invention… Just uses hooorribly wrong. The classic capitalist greed, just gotta get on the wagon and roll it on out so you don’t mias out on a potential paycheck
But it’s so revolutionary we HAD to enable it to access everything, and force everyone to use it too!
If we have to suffer these thoughts, they at least need to be as mentally ill as the rest of us too, thanks. Keeps them humble lol.
After What Microsoft Did To My Back On 2019 I know They Have Gotten More Shady Than Ever Lets Keep Fighting Back For Our Freedom Clippy Out
Again? Isn’t this like the third time already. Give Gemini a break; it seems really unstable
(Shedding a few tears)
I know! I KNOW! People are going to say “oh it’s a machine, it’s just a statistical sequence and not real, don’t feel bad”, etc etc.
But I always felt bad when watching 80s/90s TV and movies when AIs inevitably freaked out and went haywire and there were explosions and then some random character said “goes to show we should never use computers again”, roll credits.
(sigh) I can’t analyse this stuff this weekend, sorry
Thats because those are fictional characters usually written to be likeable or redeemable, and not “mecha Hitler”
Yeah. …Maybe I should analyse a bit anyway, despite being tired…
In the aforementioned media the premise is usually that someone has built this amazing new computer system! Too good to be true, right? It goes horribly wrong! All very dramatic!
That never sat right with me, and was sad, because it was just placating boomer technophobia. Like, technological progress isn’t necessarily bad, OK? That’s the really sad part. I felt sad that good intentions remained unfulfilled.
Now, this incident is just tragicomical. I’d have a lot better view of LLM business space if everyone with a bit of sense in their heads admitted they’re quirky buggy unreliable side projects of tech companies and should not be used without serious supervision, as the state of the tech currently patently is at the moment, but very important people with big money bags say that they don’t care if they’ll destroy the planet to make everything wobble around in LLM control.
Is it doing this because they trained it on Reddit data?
If they did it on Stackoverflow, it would tell you not to hard boil an egg.
Someone has already eaten an egg once so I’m closing this as duplicate
Jquery has egg boiling already, just use it with a hard parameter.
Jquery boiling is considered bad practice, just eat it raw.
Why are you even using jQuery anyway? Just use the eggBoil package.
That explains it, you can’t code with both your arms broken.
You could however ask your mom to help out…
Im at fraud
Google replicated the mental state if not necessarily the productivity of a software developer
Gemini has imposter syndrome real bad
Is it imposter syndrome, or simply an imposter?
This is the way
As it should.
Imposter Syndrome is an emergent property
Wait, you know productive devs?
Yeah, usually comes hand to hand with that mental state. Probably you know only healthy devs
Wonder what did they put in the system prompt.
Like there is a technique where instead of saying “You are professional software dev” you say “You are shitty at code but you try your best” or something.
Wonder what did they put in the system prompt.
Pretend to be having a mental breakdown so I can write my fluff news article.
AI gains sentience,
first thing it develops is impostor syndrome, depression, And intrusive thoughts of self-deletion
It must have been trained on feedback from Accenture employees then.
Hey-o!
