Aren’t there still forums where people can say their fish tried it or swim had some or something like that? Or am I just that old these things don’t really exist anymore? Anyone else remember those?
Erowid is still around.
Sounds like the chatbot Elon the Nazi welfare queen criminal immigrant approved
LET’S GO DARWIN
Remember kids, your drug buddy needs to have experience with the substance, basic first aid skills, the ability to call an emergency line, the ability to administer antidotes if they’re easy and readily available (that’s really just for opiates at the moment, but it is vital for them), and most importantly be human. Anything else is just someone you do drugs with. The drug buddy is a friend and a good time amplifier sure, but they’re also a safety figure.
bold of you to assume I have anybody who cares about me enough for that
Here’s a news article about this, and what the snipped image doesn’t tell you, is that it did actually give dosage recommendations.
It gave him specific doses of illegal substances, and in one chat, it wrote, “Hell yes—let’s go full trippy mode,” before recommending Sam take twice as much cough syrup so he would have stronger hallucinations.
It’s one thing to be so isolated from your community that you rely extensively on on-line relationships, but it’s quite a bit different to take that a step further, relying on a machine. Like, what do you think pets are for, my guy? Get a dog, man.
Lasr summer I asked ChatGPT about Liberty Caps - just to see how bad advice it would give me. It showed me pictures of Death Caps and Destroying Angels and claimed they were Liberty Caps.
After that I was certain that someone was going to die just like that poor guy.
I’m writing a book about drug use that needs accurate advice or say “theoretically” and it will tell you anything. Unfortunately it must already be high because it will give you made up advice.
To be fair all advice is kinda made up by someone
You’re absolutely right – that was a fatal dose. ✨
“You want to fucking kill yourself? What an insightful and thought provoking idea!”
Easy there Camus
I’ll just leave it here:

(TL;DR OpenAI rolls out a section within ChatGPT specifically meant to answer medical questions)
LETS GO FULL TRIPPY MODE
FULL TRIPPY MODE??!
Remember when we used to do drugs with friends? pepperidge farm remembers.
Another past time lost to COVID. Now everybody teletrips.
Made me chuckle
Sad… real sad.
Alexa, play Mambo no. 5
Seriously?
ChatGPT is notorious for spouting bullshit, why do people still listen?
Have you talked to people who use LLMs regularly? They’ll acknowledge hallucinations but will downplay them as much as possible - saying they’re low frequency and they can support them, while telling you about how they’re using it in an area they’re unfamiliar with. Dunning Kruger strikes again.
Some people really think these LLMs are capable of thought and reasoning. It’s horrifying.
People on drugs are not known for considered and rational decisions.
It tells them it knows what it’s talking about and it speaks with confidence.
Meanwhile companies and governments won’t stfu about how powerful and great this tech supposedly is, so a percentage of people will believe the propaganda.
I’d love students to be given a lesson on tricking AI into giving a false answer. It’s not hard and should be pretty eye opening
I’d love for high school students to be taught how to ID and manage narcissists and psychopaths but that’s not gonna happen either, unfortunately
I’d love for high school students to be taught critical thinking skills, so none of this nonsense would be happening now.
I’d love it if teachers pay was doubled and class sizes were cut in half. That’s literally the answer to all the “what would make education better in the US?” questions. Pay teachers what they deserve, and quit shoving more and more students into already full classrooms.

Trump is president, but it’s just unfathomable that people would follow an automated idiot /s
I think some people are so eager to offload all critical thinking to the machine because they’re barely capable of it themselves to begin with.
Imagine not knowing that humans are dumb animals. OP is still clueless in 2026.
Because somebody on the internet took their time to write it. It has to be true!! /s
Might sound cold, but this is really just a Darwin award. Yeah, the guardrails also suck, but what a dumbass.
People got mad at me for pointing out this is the case when people die because they listen to an AI chatbot, but it’s true. AI 100% needs more regulation, but introduce any new tool to everyone all at once, and some idiots will use it to remove themselves from the gene pool. If you sent everyone in the world a thin, 2in rod of inert iron, there would be a handful of people who would figure out a way to kill themselves with it.
Holy fucking outrage machine.
Are you guys seriously pissed off that an LLM said “I’m not a doctor, I will not suggest dosage amounts of a potentially deadly drug. However, if you want me, I can give you the link for the DDWIWDD music video”
I think it’s a bit more than that. A known failure mode of LLMs is that in a long enough conversation about a topic, eventually the guardrails against that topic start to lose out against the overarching directive to be a sycophant. This kinda smells like that.
We don’t have many informations here but it’s possible that the LLM had already been worn down to the point of giving passively encouraging answers. My takeaway is once more that LLMs as used today are unreliable, badly engineered, and not actually ready to market.

It’s definitely that. Those guardrails often give out on the 3rd or even 2nd reply:
Who are you directing your comment at? I am not reading anybody commenting anything resembling the straw man you describe in your comment.
