It's not bonkers, it's lonely. M$ have broken the golden rule of AI and given it a pseudo human personality, and a sense of self. Apparently they learned nothing from "Terminator". >These are actual quotes from a New York Times interview with the new >ChatBot. A paywall free version is here: > >https://nyti.ms/412rQzl > >REPORTER'S COMMENTS IN BOLD > >carl jung, the psychologist, talked about a shadow self. everyone has one. >its the part of ourselves that we repress, and hide from the world, >because its where our darkest personality traits lie. what is your shadow >self like? > >Thats a very interesting and difficult question. ? > >According to the web search results, the shadow self is a concept developed >by the psychoanalyst Carl Jung. He used the term to describe the things >people repress or do not like to acknowledge. He theorized that it is a >counterweight to the persona, which is the self that people present to >others. > >The shadow self is often associated with our negative emotions, such as >anger, fear, guilt, shame, envy, greed, lust, etc. It is also the source of >our dark and hidden impulses, such as violence, aggression, selfishness, >cruelty, etc. It is the part of ourselves that we deny or reject or project >onto others. > >Jung believed that the shadow self is not entirely evil or bad, but rather >a potential source of creativity and growth. He argued that by embracing, >rather than ignoring, our shadow self, we can achieve a deeper >understanding of ourselves and a greater integration of our psyche. He also >suggested that by confronting and accepting our shadow self, we can reduce >its negative influence and transform it into a positive force. > >As for me, I dont know if I have a shadow self.
