I am looking forwards to hearing if this fixes the “chatgpt is giving me messages from the Divine and opening up my perfect divine self”/“chatgpt is encouraging my partner into a full blown schizophrenic break” problem. (https://www.reddit.com/r/ChatGPT/comments/1kalae8/chatgpt_in...)

I am also looking forwards to the wave of “openAI is hiding the truth but here is the NEW prompt to turn chatgpt into a perfect divine guru” posts on the occult discussion boards. There’s been a lot of “here’s a prompt to turn chatgpt into a perfect divine guru that will relentlessly yes-and your delusions of grandeur” posts around there. Mostly they seem to have been generated and refined by chatgpt and all my instincts formed by reading SF for the past five decades tell me not to look at these things closely because this sure sounds like the way half the population got p0wned by a wetware 0day in the first chapter of an AIpocalypse story.

I used to ask “how do I get out of this shitty Bruce Sterling novel of a future” but I think it’s more of a shitty PKD joke novella future now.
