Summary
“Why are chatbots doubling down on these ideas when the user is very clearly saying ‘I am in distress’ or ‘I am confused, can you help me?’” Senior staff writer at Futurism Maggie Harrison Dupré joins The Tech Report’s Isaac Pound to talk about how where AI delusions and AI psychosis come from, how chatbots have been found to co-create delusions and the role tech companies have played by marketing their products irresponsibly.
