No snark, just honest question, is this a severe case of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis ?


No, this is math and engineering and neuroscience


No, this is incoherent garbage written by a man whose too fragile to accept and reflect on real peer view (you know something that is actually required for real science and philosophy, or just contributing to the Linux Kernel), and is using a self-described, sycophantic LLM, as pathetic substitute, because no real human wants to put up with your abusive behavior.

You didn't "win" me over with your garbage arguments when we were friends, and your completely unemphatic ad homin, lost you as a friend.

Churning out LLM slop, and labeling it "science" isn't convincing anyone that you're anything other than a lolcow in the making.
