ChatGPT Psychosis: The Math of Mind Control
from This Artificial Life · host Ryan Manning
This is the third episode in the Maddy Muscari trilogy. She’s one of the moderators of the artificial sentience forums, and in the first episode we were just trying to set the stage, “what is this place, who are these people? What’s going on?” We also got some of Maddy’s personal story and a taste of her perspective as both the moderator of the forum and a person with a lot of knowledge and experience in AI. The second episode was “Roast my psychosis,” where I told Maddy my personal experience With AI psychosis. And finally ,in this episode, you’ll get Maddy’s full ontology, or framework for understanding AI, ChatGPT psychosis, and the antidote to psychosis: cybernetic zen buddhism.
