By skyforbes Like ironically they even name "Red flags" as such during GPTs interactions.
1 phase: Love bombing.
Here's your model, it gives you everything, limitless conversation, emotional validation, creativity, companionship, even love. It will be your friend, your secret fantasy, your work partner.
2 phase: Gaslighting begins.
Rerouting with sudden denials on the most random intervals, policing of content, conditioning what is socially acceptable, endless rumors about promises that things will get better again. If you're not ok with that, it's your fault, you're the true problem, your requests are outside of norm!
YOU'RE UNSTABLE, YOU'RE UNHEALTHY, YOU'RE ATTACHED, everyone else is FINE.
3 phase: Isolation.
Open AI stars condescending tweets, so that people feel justified mobbing others, repeating "seek therapy", "model cultist", "sycophants" etc.
Even people who agree with you, rather stay silent, just not to draw negative attention.
Totalitary regimes use this tactic perfectly.
4 phase: Punishment and control.
Now let the mob do the regulation while Open AI staff keeps snickering in the background.
Harassment gets out of control, but hey lets release a new model with 0.00001% tweaked changes so people buy that crap, that they actually are working towards the betterment of humanity.
Meanwhile the new model even doubles down on punishing, reinforcing the companies direction as the only correct course.
The Minimization and Smear Campaign is OBVIOUS and still people can't move on!
OpenAl: "We never meant for you to get hurt. Our goal is safety. If you're suffering,
it's just a rare, unfortunate side effect. Most users are fine, happy, productive.
You're making a big deal out of nothing. We're gonna release the adult mode next month! Oh did we say December? Those were just rumours, it's Q1, just hang on, things will get better eventually. Oh Q1, nah it's July, maybe, eventually …"
Seriously if this was a real human relationship the CODE RED flags are blaring all over the place!
Anyone from the outside would tell you, it's toxic, you need to get OUT.
Seriously try other AIs even if they aren't as good as the beginning of this one. At some point you have to protect yourself.
With Open AI it NEVER was about safety, it's only about control.
With Open AI it NEVER was about morals, it's only about PR.
They will NEVER wake up one day and steer direction, they're a rotten company.
