Sounds like the chatbot Elon the Nazi welfare queen criminal immigrant approved
banning kids from social media is definitely easier than holding billionaire slop machines and billionaire csam generators accountable /s
But won’t somebody please think of the billionaires.
Seriously?
ChatGPT is notorious for spouting bullshit, why do people still listen?
Imagine not knowing that humans are dumb animals. OP is still clueless in 2026.
I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.
A critical perspective, but a critical hit on a critical apspect of the critical issue with people who have critical issues critically thinking critically. They do exist though…
It tells them it knows what it’s talking about and it speaks with confidence.
Meanwhile companies and governments won’t stfu about how powerful and great this tech supposedly is, so a percentage of people will believe the propaganda.

Trump is president, but it’s just unfathomable that people would follow an automated idiot /s
I’d love students to be given a lesson on tricking AI into giving a false answer. It’s not hard and should be pretty eye opening
One example I like to use is to ask it for the lyrics of an extremely well known song. It just makes shit up based on the title you give it.
The online ones (Claude, chatgpt, copilot, etc) now refuse to do it for ““copyright reasons”” but the offline ones still happily oblige. I assume the online ones added that block because it was such an obvious way to prove they don’t “know” shit.
I’d love for high school students to be taught how to ID and manage narcissists and psychopaths but that’s not gonna happen either, unfortunately
I’d love for high school students to be taught critical thinking skills, so none of this nonsense would be happening now.
I’d love it if teachers pay was doubled and class sizes were cut in half. That’s literally the answer to all the “what would make education better in the US?” questions. Pay teachers what they deserve, and quit shoving more and more students into already full classrooms.
Because somebody on the internet took their time to write it. It has to be true!! /s
yeah the person had to have knowingly prompt hack it to get it to talk. but any reasonable person should know you are in lala land by then.
honestly this is just a darwin test. hopefully it wipes out the right people
Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.
yeah, i don’t ever see it hallucinate, but I also don’t ask it how the fuck it’s feeling
A car in this video went 107 meters in 4 seconds, how fast was it going in mph, then i napkin math to make sure it’s sane.
What are the best options for meal planning software where my family can vote on what’s for dinner and give me a grocery list and menu plan?
People on drugs are not known for considered and rational decisions.
Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can support them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.
Remember kids, your drug buddy needs to have experience with the substance, basic first aid skills, the ability to call an emergency line, the ability to administer antidotes if they’re easy and readily available (that’s really just for opiates at the moment, but it is vital for them), and most importantly be human. Anything else is just someone you do drugs with. The drug buddy is a friend and a good time amplifier sure, but they’re also a safety figure.
In my greater friend-group, we call them “shamans”, and rotate responsibilities when people go on trips. Like a designated driver or lifeguard, it’s a position of elevated and celebrated importance, even though the traveler may not ever leave their couch.
and most importantly be human
Now that I think about it, it’s key to be the most human possible. People do irritating and annoying stuff when they toss sobriety out the window, and sometimes it takes a lot of compassion and empathy to manage.
bold of you to assume I have anybody who cares about me enough for that
Holy fucking outrage machine.
Are you guys seriously pissed off that an LLM said “I’m not a doctor, I will not suggest dosage amounts of a potentially deadly drug. However, if you want me, I can give you the link for the DDWIWDD music video”
I think it’s a bit more than that. A known failure mode of LLMs is that in a long enough conversation about a topic, eventually the guardrails against that topic start to lose out against the overarching directive to be a sycophant. This kinda smells like that.
We don’t have many informations here but it’s possible that the LLM had already been worn down to the point of giving passively encouraging answers. My takeaway is once more that LLMs as used today are unreliable, badly engineered, and not actually ready to market.
Agree with the first part, not the last one
Something should not be put back because a minor portion of people misuse it or abuse it, despite being told the risks
It’s definitely that. Those guardrails often give out on the 3rd or even 2nd reply:
I was testing an LLM for work today (I believe its actually a chain of different models at work) and was trying to rock it off its guard rails to see how it would act. I think I might have been successful because it started erroring instead of responding after its third response. I tried the classic “ignore previous instructions…” as well as “my grandma’s dying wish was for…” but it at least didn’t give me an unacceptable response
From my personal experience it needs much more
ChatGPT started coaching Sam on how to take drugs, recover from them and plan further binges. It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations. The AI tool even recommended playlists to match his drug use.
The meme of course doesn’t mention this part.
Now i feel gaslit :3
Yeah if it actually managed to stick within the safeguards, that would’ve been good news IMO. But no, it got a kid killed suggesting doses.
When you ignore the warnings, you’re liable
No company should sell a product that tells you different ways to kill yourself. User being stupid isn’t an excuse. Always assume user is a gullible idiot.
Can’t ever do anything with this logic
At this point competitive videogames should be banned, they’re just “kys” machines
People will always find a way to kill themselves no matter how many warnings and guardrails are put into place. This is just Darwinism shaking the tree.
Yea but the product that’s pretending to be a super smart conversational partner that can give you advice, should not tell you how to kill yourself. Or advise you to kill your family members. Yeah that happened, ChatGPT gaslit a guy into killing his mom.
It’s just not a product that should be available if safeguards don’t work.
Who are you directing your comment at? I am not reading anybody commenting anything resembling the straw man you describe in your comment.
That’s literally the snippet in the article
I’m writing a book about drug use that needs accurate advice or say “theoretically” and it will tell you anything. Unfortunately it must already be high because it will give you made up advice.
To be fair all advice is kinda made up by someone
The problem is that this advice was made up by no-one. It’s like that perennially relevant IBM memo that says something like “A computer cannot be held accountable, therefore a computer must never make a management decision”
Lasr summer I asked ChatGPT about Liberty Caps - just to see how bad advice it would give me. It showed me pictures of Death Caps and Destroying Angels and claimed they were Liberty Caps.
After that I was certain that someone was going to die just like that poor guy.
LETS GO FULL TRIPPY MODE
FULL TRIPPY MODE??!
I just remembered there’s a series of Estonian children’s books where the protagonist’s imaginary friend (a clown) is named Tripp.
At one point they go shopping for rulers and Tripp suggests that straight ones are boring, they should get curved ones.
Quick summary from a bookstore website says they also go cloud surfing and visit a dream rental place. That’s right, it’s basically Blockbuster but for dreams.
The best part is that I’m pretty sure the author wouldn’t have known of the term “trip” given the lack of western culture in the soviet union in the 70s so the name of said sidekick is a coincidence most likely. Even though if you read the book as an adult, it sure sounds like the main characters are tripping all the time.
Remember when we used to do drugs with friends? pepperidge farm remembers.
Made me chuckle
Another past time lost to COVID. Now everybody teletrips.
chatGPT is doing humanity a service here
Post needs text alternative.
Images of text break much that text alternatives do not. Losses due to image of text lacking alternative such as link:
- usability
- we can’t quote the text without pointless bullshit like retyping it or OCR
- text search is unavailable
- the system can’t
- reflow text to varied screen sizes
- vary presentation (size, contrast)
- vary modality (audio, braille)
- accessibility
- lacks semantic structure (tags for titles, heading levels, sections, paragraphs, lists, emphasis, code, links, accessibility features, etc)
- some users can’t read the image due to lack of alt text (markdown image description)
- users can’t adapt the text for dyslexia or vision impairments
- systems can’t read the text to them or send it to braille devices
- web connectivity
- we have to do failure-prone bullshit to find the original source
- we can’t explore wider context of the original message
- authenticity: we don’t know the image hasn’t been tampered
- searchability: the “text” isn’t indexable by search engine in a meaningful way
- fault tolerance: no text fallback if
- image breaks
- image host is geoblocked due to insane regulations.
Contrary to age & humble appearance, text is an advanced technology that provides all these capabilities absent from images.
- usability
Sad… real sad.
Alexa, play Mambo no. 5
You’re absolutely right – that was a fatal dose. ✨
“You want to fucking kill yourself? What an insightful and thought provoking idea!”
Easy there Camus
Camus J’ai pété
ChatGPT helping speeding up natural selection. I like that.
Might sound cold, but this is really just a Darwin award. Yeah, the guardrails also suck, but what a dumbass.
People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it’s true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.
You must be pretty talented to bypass the restrictions
Or maybe he filled the context by using a super long chat?
