this latest study examined the chat logs of 19 real users of chatbots — primarily OpenAI’s ChatGPT — who reported experiencing psychological harm as a result of their chatbot use.
Pretty small sample size despite being a large dataset that they pulled from, its still the dataset of just 19 people.
AI sucks in a lot of ways sure, but this feels like fud.
I remember reading my old states book that said a minimum of 30 points needed for normal distribution. Also typically these small sets about proof of concept, so yeah you still got a point.
fud: Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt. A tactic for denigrating a thing, usually by implication of hypothetical or exaggerated harms, often in vague language that is either tautological or not falsifiable.

It’s not really ethical to just yoink people’s chats and study them
Tell that to the advertizing companies.
Thanks, you saved me a click 😐
The hugeness is probably
That’s a lot of messages

I wonder if the headline was written by an AI
*hugely funded?
…fud?

It’s crypto bro speak.
What? The term FUD has been around since at least the 90s, though I think significantly older than that
Microsoft are masters of it, their whole business plan is dependent on it
It predates crypto by nearly 100 years.

Are you unironically saying “fud”
Where are you hearing it so much? (And ideally can you describe it in a little more detail than saying it’s crypto bros again?)
Crypto bros are infamous for describing any criticism as FUD, no matter the criticism. It’s like a verbal tic. https://primal.net/search/FUD
The term FUD has been around longer & broader than that. But thanks for the explanation.
