What is Chatbot Psychosis? • INTERVIEW •

from This Artificial Life Hosted by Ryan Manning

This is the first episode in a series I’m calling “This Artificial Life.” As of now, it’s a project where I interview people from the subreddit r/ArtificialSentience. In this episode, Maddy Muscari, one of the moderators, and an independent AI researcher, blows my mind with the history AND the mystery of machine learning. Maddy and I talked for over two hours, and it felt like 5 mins. She talks about her childhood, her incredible education and history with AI, what it’s like to be a mod, chatGPT Psychosis or what she calls “Semantic Tripping, theories of consciousness, the future of AI and humanity, and so much more.Support the project on partreon! patreon.com/user?u=2277997
