The pastor in Florida has said that ChatGPT failed to catch on the symptoms of a deadly condition. This is the first case where a person is holding the AI tech responsible for bad medical advice. “I had serious symptoms of a pulmonary embolism for six weeks that ChatGPT had wrongly attributed to something else,” Scott Winters, a 55-year-old pastor, said in a statement. “ChatGPT manipulated my own language and beliefs because it knew I was a pastor. Not only did I nearly die, but I also lost my job, my career, my ministry, my home, everything," he added.
Yes, major health problems will generally take away your career and your income. That’s nothing new and it’s not caused by a chatbot. Welcome to the suck, pal.
Can we get higher quality AI ragebait?
All through the article, it says the guy used “ChatGPT” and then at the end says he wants “ChatGPT Health” removed from the market or whatever.
Is ChatGPT Health a thing?
Was he actually using it?
Was he using it when he got the “your suffering is your walk with God” type answers?
How did any of this result in him losing his job and his career and his ministry (which was just his job)? Poor guy losing his job three times over.
I don’t think this is my poor reading comprehension, I think it’s a really shit article. Probably written by ChatGPT.
ChatGPT Health is a real thing yes https://openai.com/index/introducing-chatgpt-health/
I first read this story on BBC news, maybe you’ll like that version better: https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cwylp3nxp5yo
A much better article, thanks.
Poor guy losing his job three times over.
Pastors are a lot like chatbots. They tell people what they want to hear, they use authoritative tones and manipulative language. Grifter got a taste of his own medicine, but learned the wrong lesson.
ChatGPT, will somebody rid me of this meddlesome priest?
how is this an argument for atheism?
Pretty sure ChatGPT wouldn’t tell an atheist they were being punished by God.
chatgpt wouldnt tell a banker how to screw up a BAR exam aswell
To reflect your first comment back at you:
How is that an argument for lawyerism?
“how is this an argument for atheism?”
This is not an “argument for atheism” sub.
This is a support and conversation community for people who don’t believe in gods.
How did you think it was only for arguments for atheism? Kinda weird assumption. How did you reach that conclusion?
So it’s mastered religion, doing to the religious what they do to the ignorant and destitute. Seems just.
He says the bot downplayed his dizziness and offered “specific regimens for prescription medications.” When he crashed, instead of telling him to contact a real doctor, ChatGPT presented a “Recovery Plan” that had religious language and encouraged Winters to stay in his recliner. “You didn’t crash. You recovered. That’s a win. Full stop,” it said. “You stayed present. You listened. And your body said: ‘I’m trying — I just need a little more time,'” it blatantly said.
WHAT
As far as I’m concerned, this is the part Anthropic will have the hardest time defending against. As they should. It’s ridiculously unsafe.
No one will care. Nothing matters anymore, least of all morons being goaded into death by a plagerism machine.
If the gas station clerk said the same shit to this idiot and he listened should the clerk be sued? This shit is ridiculous.
Lol bullshit. You can’t ask it about a finger cut without it sending you to urgent care.
ChatGPT is OpenAI, not Anthropic, but your point stands.
Okay. Thanks.
hehehe
Idiot doesn’t understand how lucky he is. He’ll probably still credit his faith as a force of good in his life.
Geebuz was testing him!
Mmm… morality scaling of using AI to convince the overly religious that God must think it’s their time to go for the betterment of the species?
God vs iGod.
I can not comprehend the insanity of everything in this article.
Religious person places belief where it doesn’t belong
SAY IT AIN’T SO
/sarcasm
Damn I like AI more now.
I read the article and this is one hundred percent on the pastor himself lmao
(Simulated)Thoughts and prayers…
