ChatGPT psychosis is rare if you know how it works. “How GPT works” should be a required subject. Primary lesson: a GPT is a function of its data. It can uncover interesting facts and make fascinating correlations. But it will not discover non-governmental demons. Anything the GPT says is a remix of its training corpus. But labs benefit from GPT mysticism so they don’t say this. If you internalize the lesson, esoteric responses, when you invariably hit them, will at most make you think “hmm I wonder where it got that from.” And maybe you search or prompt a bit more to find out. Otherwise you’ll think you are revealing some deep universal truth, and that’s when things go down hill. Teach your kids that a GPT is a function of its data.
