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.

    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?

    Idiot doesn’t understand how lucky he is. He’ll probably still credit his faith as a force of good in his life.

    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.

    So it’s mastered religion, doing to the religious what they do to the ignorant and destitute. Seems just.

      “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?

      Pretty sure ChatGPT wouldn’t tell an atheist they were being punished by God.

    Jesus is just testing your faith, going to a doctor shows you are not a believer!

    Imagine being so gullible that you are letting a LLM rizz you.
