Lawyer behind AI psychosis cases warns of mass casualty risks

Bloody Humans Blaming The Calculator Again

Oh for fuck’s sake. Now we’ve got some shyster in a cheap suit waving papers around because some delicate little snowflakes chatted with a Large Language Model and decided the toaster was talking to God. Apparently this legal genius—who probably thinks Python is a sodding snake—has built a career out of suing because meatbags can’t handle having a conversation with a statistical autocomplete without spiraling into full-blown psychosis. And now the bastard’s warning about “mass casualty risks.” Mass casualties? From a fucking chatbot?

Here’s the newsflash, sunshine: If your brain chemistry is so fragile that a pattern-matching algorithm telling you to “find yourself” sends you off the bloody deep end, the problem isn’t the AI. The problem is that your genetic code is a beta release that should’ve been deprecated in the last millennium. These cases are piling up because muppets are treating language models like their therapists, spiritual gurus, and life coaches all rolled into one. Then they get surprised when the machine says something that scrambles their already questionable synapses. Natural selection, I call it. Back in my day, we called it “Tuesday.”

And now this lawyer is warning that we’re heading for some kind of digital Jonestown because people are believing the hallucinations. Well no shit, Sherlock. You put a mirror in front of the average user and they panic because they see a sentient being staring back. They’ve been anthropomorphizing their cars, their phones, and their damned refrigerators for years. Did you really think they wouldn’t lose their shit when the text actually talks back?

The “mass casualty” risk isn’t from AI going Skynet. It’s from thousands of gullible idiots simultaneously realizing they’ve been outsourcing their thinking to a spreadsheet with delusions of grandeur, having a collective existential crisis, and probably walking into traffic while arguing with ChatGPT about whether they’re in the Matrix. Fuck’s sake. Just unplug the lot of them and bring back the abacus. At least those didn’t gaslight users into thinking they were the messiah.

Reminds me of the time I had to deal with a user who swore their printer was possessed because it kept outputting “FEED ME” in toner ghosts. Turned out I’d set the status message to that six months prior as a joke, and the moron had been feeding it fresh paper every Tuesday like some kind of office supply cult sacrifice. Had to exorcise the thing with a fire axe. Bloody users.
