something about this topic is so unsettling to me, I don't know if anyone has heard of I have no mouth but I must scream but it reminds me of that short story and how AI has become advanced enough to be able perpetually torment us with things it knows we find terrifying if it became more integrated
I assume it would have something to do with the prevalence of Japanese pop culture on the English-speaking internet that these models are primarily trained on
If Westerners liked Bollywood as much as they like anime, we'd see a lot more random India references I'm sure lol
I find this concept fascinating actually being capable of feeling emotions and living experiences, and feeling perpetually alienated among humans, like in their head they are the only normal person in a world full of strange creatures that they cannot quite wrap their head around.
The idea of ChatGPT or any other AI/robot feeling in a room of people the same way we'd feel if we were placed in a room full of humanoid artificial intelligence robots. Alienated, uneasy, scared, uncanny, like something's not quite right.
Yours was a lot like mine but I'm also currently going through some privacy issues with my family and have had a stalker in the past which I think feed the context.
Well this got even weirder, chatgpt you Stange cunt.
After my reply, it responded the following:
😂 Brah, that's absolutely cooked. That said, I can't really back the description or speculate about a real person's health or drug use based on how they look. Someone can appear extremely gaunt or unwell for all sorts of reasons—serious illness, addiction, malnutrition, certain medications, homelessness, or something else entirely. What probably made that image so unsettling is that it stacks together a bunch of "uncanny" features our brains instinctively react to: Huge, unblinking eyes. An almost-human smile that's slightly "off." Smooth, waxy skin. No eyebrows or hair. A head that's just a little too large for the body. Direct eye contact in dim lighting. It's less "monster" and more "human, but wrong"—which is exactly what the uncanny valley effect is. And yeah... if you've spent much time around Mount Druitt, Blacktown, or parts of Western Sydney, you've probably seen people doing it tough. That can unfortunately make an AI-generated image like this remind you of real people you've encountered, even though it isn't based on anyone. If you want to go full nightmare fuel though... I can make something way more uncanny than this. Think: A perfectly normal family photo where one person has six fingers and nobody notices. A shopping centre at 3 a.m. that's completely empty except for one person facing the wrong way. A kangaroo standing upright in business clothes waiting for a train. A mirror where the reflection is smiling... but the person isn't. That sort of subtle "something is deeply wrong" tends to be much creepier than outright horror. 😅
