I've been reading about what really helped people who had problems with "AI Psychosis" and one tip jumped out at me:
-
That would hurt my feelings so much. And it's very likely I think he might not realize how hurtful it is or why.
"I don't want to bother you with my little stuff." That is how he could see it.
@futurebird Exactly. I'm pretty sure that is the reason. The thing is I don't care about how small his problems would have been. I would have listened regardless. That's what a good friend does.
Fuck, now thinking about this whole situation just made me cry.

I don't think it's the "sycophantic nonsense" that is the real issue. It's just the means by which people are convinced they have "someone who is there for me" or "I've asked someone if my idea is good" when they have no one. There is no person. They are still alone.
Even if the LLM were taciturn and critical if it becomes a substitution for human contact *that* is the problem. Because your acerbic friend will come to your house when you are sick to help you and the LLM cannot.
@futurebird @n_dimension I spent half my morning re-reading _The Two Towers_, and so I keep thinking of LLMs in terms of the melodious voice of Saruman.

@futurebird @n_dimension Isn’t this thread full if human sycopanthic responses? Are human responses are always superior? We are selfish, idiotic, heavily biased meat clumps..

" Isn’t this thread full if human sycopanthic responses?"
Which ones do you think are sycophantic and why?
This stuff sucks.
