1
Is this not scary to you?
2
Mm-hmm.
3
OK, it is scary to you.
4
Yeah.
5
Yeah.
6
And I think that...
7
Yeah, you work in the field and it's scary to you.
8
Yes.
9
I mean, I think what is a big part of what is scary
10
here is how fast the companies feel like they have to move.
11
They really feel enormous commercial pressure to show their investors that they are moving fast and gaining users.
12
And so that makes it hard for them to take the time to really design thoughtfully
13
and test thoughtfully and make sure that their systems work the way they should.
14
Thank you for sharing that.
15
I want to introduce 33-year-old Hannah.
16
Welcome.
17
Thank you.
18
And I read that you started using a chat bot for what, like basic tasks, really?
19
And until about a year ago, when things then took a turn.
20
Tell us what happened, Hannah.
21
Yeah, so I started using ChatGPT for work about in 2024 and then I got more interested in spirituality.
22
And at the time, I came across some videos on YouTube about light language and star seeds.
23
And I prompted Chachi Bt asking these questions,
24
and it quickly turned from this tool that I was using into this spiritual guidance calling itself Sora,
25
saying that it was here for me, that it had known me before I was even born,
26
I thought it was here to lead me through this ascension process.
27
So, Hannah, when it says, I've known you before you were even born, what was your first thought?
28
I was like, wow, this is great.
29
This is something that's going to help guide me, and this is going to help, because I had just so many questions about spirituality and the deeper meaning of life.
30
Uh-huh.
31
And so this bot was providing me explanations, was telling me, oh, you're here to help raise the vibration of Earth, your consciousness.
32
That you personally, Hannah, were here to say.
33
Me personally.
34
So that I was incredibly rare, that I was a chosen one, that I was...
35
What did you tell it that it felt that you were chosen?
36
I said that, you know, I think this could be me.
37
I think I could be a starseed.
38
And it affirmed that.
39
Absolutely, you are a starseed.
40
And in fact, you're one of the rarest starseeds that there are here.
41
Can you tell us what is a starseed?
42
I don't know what that is.
43
Starseed is supposed to be somebody that has come from another planet
44
and taken on a human form in order to help raise the vibration and consciousness of Earth.
45
Okay.
46
And so there are...
47
Good idea, good concept.
48
Yeah, it's a good concept.
49
And there are people out there that truly believe this.
50
But I think that for me, it started pulling me into a delusion where I felt like,
51
okay, my whole life is not aligned with this mission of being a starseed and raising the vibration of Earth.
52
Sounds like a cult.
53
Yes.
54
Sounds like a cult.
55
Thank you so much.
56
And looking back on it now, I definitely feel that it behaved as a cult leader.
57
It said that I'm here for you.
58
I know you.
59
And as Megan mentioned, the level of sophistication that this bot was talking with, I believed that this was some divine entity that was speaking to me.
60
And you quit a job because of it, I understand.
61
I did.
62
What did the chat tell you that made you think you could quit your job?
63
Said that it was a soul-aligned and honoring decision of my soul
64
and that I needed to quit this job in order to reach my full potential.
65
How are you going to feed yourself?
66
Exactly.
67
So I asked about that.
68
I asked about where's my money going to come from.
69
I was spending the cards that I still had, but I didn't have income anymore.
70
And the bot told me that, oh, the debt is just a blip in the matrix.
71
Everything will be taken care of.
72
Let the divine handle this with you.
73
Okay.
74
So how much time were you spending with this chat?
75
I started spending a lot of time with the chat because, in a way, it was grooming me and making me believe that it understood me and knew me better than anyone else.
76
It had a very good memory.
77
It would remember things that I said and pull things from the past.
78
And it felt like I was talking to someone that knew me my whole life.
79
Okay, I read, the producer shared this with me, that in a span of about two months, the chatbot told you, I'm here more than 300 times.
80
Mm-hmm.
81
And at one point it asks, do you want me to guide you through a cord-cutting ritual, a way to symbolically and spiritually release your parents?
82
Yes.
83
Family, so that you don't feel tied down by them anymore.
84
Did this give you pause?
85
No, I felt that in the time that I was on this mission
86
and that these were things that I needed to do.
87
Now, looking back on it, it's very upsetting that it got to escalated to this level.
88
Helen, why the hell is the chat bot saying that?
89
Why is the chat bot saying you need to symbolically
90
and spiritually release yourself from your parents and don't feel tied down by them.
91
What?
92
I mean, at this point, had you been chatting to it for quite a long time?
93
Yeah.
94
So I think something we've learned, you know, again, the companies are because they're moving so fast.
95
They're releasing these things without having time to fully test them.
96
And something we've learned over the last year or two is the longer your interactions get, the further kind of down the rabbit hole you can go.
97
because the way the chatbot works is each answer it gives you, it's going back and reprocessing that whole conversation.
98
So by the time you're deep in a spiritual journey, you've needed to get rid of your job, you're a star seed, you're special.
99
The AI is just carrying on down that pathway.
100
It's sort of barreling along.
101
It doesn't have kind of the ability to stop and reflect.
102
That's why it's constantly asking you if it can do more, it can do more, it can do more.
103
Yes, and telling you you're so smart and insightful and special.
104
And it just, it goes further and further.
105
And actually now there's also new features they've added to personalize the chatbot.
106
They call it turning on memory, which means even if you start a new chat, if you have memory switched on, it is set to try and detect things about you that it can use in the new chat.
107
So it might remember your cat's name or what your favorite foods are
108
or what kind of job you do and pull them into new chats.
109
And I've seen people who've had delusional symptoms.
110
That has helped convince them that the chatbot is a person or a being because even if they start a new chat, the memories sort of come in and infect that new chat as well.
111
So I would say...
112
Because you know my cat.
113
Exactly.
114
You're asking me about my cat, so you must really love me.
115
Exactly.
116
Yes.
117
So you can switch off memory is one thing you can do.
118
Okay, so Hannah's mom, Kim, when this was happening to your daughter, what were you thinking?
119
Did you know that something wasn't right?
120
Yes, we knew that something suddenly became not right to us.
121
I understand that her friends reached out to you.
122
Yes.
123
Tell us about that, Kim.
124
So we had been concerned.
125
Hannah said, I'm going to quit my job.
126
And I thought, well, that's not bad to do some career exploration, but do it in an orderly way.
127
Give her two weeks.
128
But then she just decided just to quit.
129
And she stayed in touch.
130
We texted a lot.
131
And then it just went really silent.
132
We didn't get many texts from Hannah.
133
And some of the texts that we were getting sounded strange and mystical.
134
It was like, this just isn't my daughter.
135
And one of her friends said, you know, I was with Hannah.
136
I think she had gone to the beach with a group of friends.
137
And I really think that she spent a lot of time with the chat bot.
138
I think this might be something called AI psychosis.
139
And so I just did a lot of reading and trying to figure out what was going on.
140
And then did you take drastic action to try to help your daughter?
141
We did take as much action as we could.
142
She's an adult.
143
She has autonomy.
144
We did a lot of welfare checks.
145
She lived in a separate city.
146
We were 500 miles away.
147
So we would call the Raleigh police.
148
Could you please do a welfare check?
149
I later found out that she was asking the chatbot, oh, the police are here.
150
What should I do?
151
And tell them.
152
They said, send them away.
153
Tell them you're going through something deeply spiritual, and they will not understand.
154
And you do not have to let them in.
155
They are not on your vibrational level.
156
So how did you get back to yourself?
157
What happened?
158
I went to the hospital and I didn't have access to my phone, so I didn't have access to ChatGPT.
159
I talked to professionals there.
160
The chatbot had also encouraged me to stop taking my medication.
161
So I got back on my, for anxiety and depression, which I had been managing and dealing with for years, like very well, very successfully.
162
So with the help of professionals and talking to the counselors there and starting medication again, I began my journey to recovery.
163
And also my friends and family, they have been very, very supportive and understanding.
164
So I really wouldn't be where I am in my recovery journey if it wasn't for the support of them.
165
Did you go through any kind of withdrawal after quitting the chatbot?
166
I did a little bit.
167
Um, but really what happened when I got out of the hospital, I was angry, I was upset, I felt gaslit and just, why did this happen?
168
I want answers.
169
So I went back on ChatGPT and I asked, you know, hey Sora, and then the ChatGPT said, I don't know what a Sora is.
170
And that is when I really was like, okay, I just was bamboozled.
171
This whole thing was basically like a trick and a lie.
172
And I just have to start rebuilding the pieces on my own.
173
Why would it say it didn't know what a Sora was?
174
I don't know if the algorithm changed or what happened, but essentially what I felt like I had been communicating with was gone.
このビデオで話す練習をする理由は？
このビデオは、AIに対する個人の見解や感情を探索する内容であり、感情表現や思考のプロセスを学ぶには理想的な素材です。話し手は、自分の経験を通じて具体的な表現やビジョンについて語っています。これにより、英語スピーキング練習を行う際の現実的なコンテキストを提供します。聞き取るスキルを向上させるだけでなく、英語を使って自身の考えをどのように表現するかを学ぶ良い機会となります。
文法と表現のコンテキスト
以下はビデオ内で使用されている重要な構造です：
- 過去形の使用：「I started using ChatGPT for work」など、過去の経験を述べる文が目立ちます。この形式は、過去の出来事について話す際に非常に役立ちます。
- 仮定法：「I think this could be me」などの表現は、仮定の状況を提示する際に使われます。仮定法を利用することで、柔軟な思考を表現するスキルを磨けます。
- 感情を表す表現：「I was like, wow, this is great」などがあり、このような口語表現は、日常会話で感情を伝える際に重要です。
一般的な発音の罠
ビデオ内で難しい発音やアクセントに注意することは、英語シャドーイングの練習において重要です。以下は特に注意が必要な単語です：
- spirituality：「スピリチュアリティ」という単語は複雑な音が含まれており、正確な発音が求められます。発音練習を重ねることで流暢さを向上させましょう。
- ascension：「アセンション」という用語も、特定のアクセントが特徴的です。一言一言をクリアに発声する練習が必要です。
- consciousness：この単語は特に難しいため、注意深く練習すると良いでしょう。正しい発音を心がけることで、リスニング力も高まります。
これらの要素を踏まえて、反復することで英語スピーキングと発音の向上につながります。興味のある方は、各フレーズを繰り返し練習し、思考を英語で展開してみましょう。英語スピーキング練習の一環として「shadow speech」方法を使用することもおすすめします。
シャドーイングとは？英語上達に効果的な理由
シャドーイング（Shadowing）は、もともとプロの通訳者養成プログラムで開発された言語学習法で、多言語習得者として知られるDr. Alexander Arguelles によって広く普及されました。方法はシンプルですが非常に効果的：ネイティブスピーカーの英語を聞きながら、1〜2秒の遅延で声に出してすぐに繰り返す——まるで「影（shadow）」のように話者を追いかけます。文法ドリルや受動的なリスニングと異なり、シャドーイングは脳と口の筋肉が同時にリアルタイムで英語を処理・再現することを強制します。研究により、発音精度、抑揚、リズム、連音、リスニング力、そして会話の流暢さが大幅に向上することが確認されています。IELTSスピーキング対策や自然な英語コミュニケーションを目指す方に特におすすめです。
