AI Induced Psychosis: A shallow investigation
Simon Raistrick11d10

Thats a moral judgement not science.

Who says your assessment of adequacy of grounds is accurate? Who says that holding a position others dont see makes it wrong? One persons vision is anothers delusion. In fact, this is almost exactly how the science commuity treats outliers eg Einstein.

Reason About Intelligence, Not AI
Simon Raistrick12d10

Agree there should be more discussion of intelligence in general. This is the core of my research. 

However, describing "a corporation" as an intelligence is stretching the concept a bit, debateable but its a can of worms. Why not instead talk about humans v animals, that would be a more accurate yet similar analogy, without the contentiousness.

LLM-generated text is not testimony
Simon Raistrick12d1-2

LLM text is the result of human-AI hybrid thought. So it is not based on nothing.

I'm pretty sure that your example doesn't fit the definition of psychosis becuase psychosis must be very clearly incorrect by definition, whereas some of the things you're discussing may be correct, and at the very least possibly worthy of exploration.  It's all very well to say that frontier science is "delusional", but so was superstring theory until it was proven. It's imaginative work and requires an open mind. Of course you might argue that your example is not frontier science, and that's fine but I think you'll find that when you come to define what is delusional and what is not you're on very shaky ground with that example. Guess what Im saying is that when doing this kind of work be careful that cultural bias/ moral judgement/ general closed mindedness bias in your test design is ruled out as solidly as possible if you want your results to be considered valid.
