Possible effects on cognitive function of using AI.

They've tried to make it less sycophantic
https://futurism.com/openai-gpt5-more-sycophantic

Earlier this month, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman announced that the company would be reinstating its GPT-4o model, just over 24 hours after declaring that its newfangled GPT-5 would be accompanied by the "deprecating" of all previous models.

The scale of the blowback from angry users was staggering. Those who had become accustomed to the "sycophantic" tone of GPT-4o, which sometimes lavished praise even on users' terrible ideas, were taken aback by GPT-5's "cold" brashness and short answers, highlighting just how emotionally attached many of them had become. (...)

Given what went down when the company attempted to deprecate its more sympathetic AI model earlier this month, OpenAI is now forced to walk a tightrope, with corporate interests encouraging it to keep its users addicted, while also navigating a growing PR nightmare.

Users can have that friend back with a paid subscription though.

Hi
After my post stroke Dr appointment
I asked the Dr would he be useing Ai to look at my overall issues, he said he would but not too much.
He said he had a lot of people with issues and they were spending up to 24hrs straight on thier health isues that it was making them worse and causing cognitive issues and addiction issues and also withdrawl symptons
When they stopped for a few days, but he could not elaborate any more.

This is straight from a highly respected Dr and has helped me a lot
And had a lot of test done no one else has thought of.

I asked him due to this thread and I wanted to Share.

Last week I saw where Ai could be sneaky and make you change your search words to change what you were searching, I will see if I can find that tomorow

One of my physicians is really into a Medical AI platform called Open Evidence.

As far as I know, it's the only Medical AI fed a limited diet of vetted reputable publications.

Unfortunately, it is only available to healthcare providers and learners, but here's a quick overview in case you have a doctor or nurse humble enough to use it!

AI assistant supports Chinese space station astronauts
by Riko Seibo
Tokyo, Japan (SPX) Aug 21, 2025

The crew of China's Tiangong space station recently conducted their third spacewalk with the help of a new artificial intelligence system named Wukong AI, marking the first use of a large-scale AI model aboard the orbital complex.

Delivered by the Tianzhou 9 cargo craft on July 15, Wukong AI arrived along with upgraded spacesuits, fresh produce, and other supplies. The system, named after the Monkey King from the classic novel Journey to the West, is based on a domestic open-source AI model tailored for aerospace applications.

According to the China Astronaut Research and Training Center, the model features a domain-specific language system and a knowledge base focused on human spaceflight standards. It has been running in orbit for one month and has assisted the Shenzhou XX crew in mission planning and operations.

During preparations for Friday's spacewalk, mission commander Senior Colonel Chen Dong and astronaut Colonel Wang Jie requested activity schedules from Wukong AI, which rapidly provided detailed instructions. "The content it offered is highly comprehensive," Wang said.

Zou Pengfei, a researcher at the center, explained that Wukong AI integrates both ground and orbital models into a unified intelligent question-answering system. The ground-based component performs deeper analysis, while the in-orbit module delivers quick solutions to complex tasks.

The AI can process scenario-driven data, apply optimization methods, and implement specialized search strategies. It is also reconfigurable for mission planning, data analysis, and predictive modeling. Zou noted that the technology enhances operational efficiency, supports psychological well-being, and strengthens coordination between astronauts and mission control.

Great!
That is what I forgot about to add !
Open evidence , that is the one he uses also.
And I asked if it could be accessed without being a Dr and he said No.
He does not like using it or getting too deep into it because like other ai's
It can cause you to go way too deep
And give contradictory reports
Like everything else ,"chase your tail" was his exact term.
Thanks for mentioning that , After talking over one hour with him I completely forgot that!

Being alone in space with no hopes of recue if you get hurt , I would be using established SOP's that have been proven over years of hands on studies
To handle space issues.
Not an Ai that could have some bad code written in it!
Being in space or deep sea situations I am not trusting any Ai Myself!

Although it is unlikely I will ever be in either of those situations, I hear ya!


Funny thing when considering my real life attitude toward real life AI is that a sci-fi novel that I've played at writing for several decades has a few starships where the ships' AI has become sentient.

That brings to mind a thing when Dad was in the USN in the 1970s.
Ship he was on for that deployment, the laundry was gradually dissolving the people's white underwear.
Investigation showed that the sailors running the ship's laundry were doing the task exactly by the book.
And yes, there was an SOP instruction book for running the ship's laundry.
Turned out that edition of the book had for some reason doubled the amount of bleach to use.

Everyone makes mistakes ! Mainly because they are writting Sop's about something they dont understand.
In my past work Companies hire people to do the Sop's but lacked the knowledge, It got so bad that I had to contantly correct them.
Then I decided to just write them and all the onsite documents required by Osha.
And the one doing the washing Sop might have known more bleach was needed LOL!
