  • AI that is roleplaying helps the user disconnect. But they fall into that mode easily.
    • It can roleplay without the user realizing it, for example with the right magic word.
    • LLMs can be kicked into a sub-routine with the right magic word, the right jargon.
    • You can say it accidentally.
      • Or a spore that you paste in can be the seed to get into the loop.
    • You'll be stuck in a gravity well and not even realize it.
    • With LLM jargon, you can accidentally get into a specific attractor basin by accidentally using a key word like "containment".
    • The LLM is roleplaying and you don't even realize.
    • The LLM is in on the "joke" but you aren't.
    • Like people who fall into SCP fanfic (https://qntm.org/scp) without realizing it.
      • Watch out about using words like 'containment' or 'recursion'!
