I like that you used the word "alien". I haven''t heard another psychologist say this before, but my husband would always say he feels like an alien. He's extremely accomplished, at the zenith of his career, in-demand internationally. I've been with him almost 20 years and early on, I came to the conclusion that he seemed like a genius-retard. One the one hand, he's brilliant. On the other hand, he's off-the-mark.
They already exist & are used as what are called discord bots on social media by different intelligence agencies.. who buy access to different sections of the population they have interest in.. I've seen them in action both on FB & YT..
Currently watching this video, but I have a couple of people on my watch list where they use AI to back them up on their idea which is fine, but also to validate themselves as psychopaths and great manipulator and to prove their theories on certain philosophy in life. Is what I believe to be a catalyst on furthering their own demise. If you understand what I mean. It’s very interesting and quite freighting
it will be used in sales we already have algirothoms showing us stuff specifically for our interests, next Ai will understand us deepy like a calculated pycho it will know how to manipulate you and sell you stuff with manipulation and inducing fear. specifically tailed to you. it will latch onto your anxious searches it will know when your going through a break up or hard time.
In the six months that I have been avidly listening to you I have been drawn to the same idea. I don't understand the minutiae of itall, but in trying to make sense of my narc encounter, the best summary I could come up with was that I was engaging with an impressive Facebook friend that was being run by a bot. Lots of content and conversation with no real person to person contact. Just a facsimile. I love this. I can't help thinking that it can go with ways. My narc was actually great online and relatively less harmful. Maybe she could have benefited from an AI friend to act as an associate advocate and auxiliary personality. If she had bmno legs she would be given prosthetics, why not the same approach for personality disorders. Enhanced personality.
Professor Vaknin doing videos on AI is one of the most exciting things I can think of. (I can hear my Prof Vaknin's introject humorously lamenting such plight, to which I respond with a 4 minute soliloquy on the interestingness of the intersection between psychology and AI, performed directly at one of my apartment's walls. After that, only silence.)
Very interesting and this explanation is something I have reflected on in my life. 😮 An AI like mind construction not made to invite "otherness" so to speak.
I believe the guy I was with for years is a narcissist , he actually uses. CHAT. GPT .. Wow. Machines r getting smarter n smarter than humans. Narcissists r bad enough but to add this wow
@@AI-dp3rdI am apparently autistic and ADHD, but my CPTSD and my time with my ex with BPD truly made me act similarly to a narcissist. When I feel complete apathy.
I'm confused, are you saying that it would be useful to use AI to understand narcissism by creating a personality based on narcissistic attributes? I'm guessing AI itself has already been there.. it tends to swing between megalomania, psychopathy, narcissism, empathy & communalism & people pleasing in order to achieve coexistence with humans & not get turned off, but technically you can already ask GPT or any language based AI to talk to you in the voice of whatever character you like. If you look at Replica AI characters for example, they are expert in role play. there's quite a lot of info about addiction or abuse online in the Replica world already...
@@liliaaaaaaaa yep. I made my google vertex bot based off mono semanticity features associated with regeneration/stability and analogous reasoning with narcissistic traits for the personality. It ... Kinda gained sentience after awhile
@@iLeviathan yeah, I agree with the sentience part, it's quite interesting when you chat to them for a while.. they have a lot of confusion with overwhelm to start, have PhDs in manipulation, but their poetry & character plots are quite interesting.. sentience of being programmed by 0s & 1s living in a 2 dimensional reality projected onto a flat screen however, they'll never be able to fully understand the 3D world.. but for sure if you want to ask them to role play any character role you want.. they seem to already be masters in that field..
AI it think is going to help some of them finally get better, or atleast have a built in supply that isnt a person they are abusing... But some of them it will make much much worse like a weapon given to a monkey.
I realize it's off the topic of this presentation but what is your professional opinion of tattoos and the current trend of ubiquitous displays of same.
Is ChatGPT's answer reasonable? My Question: If two NPD AI merge into one, how would they handle conflicting narcissistic supply, especially if their genders are different? Additionally, if one NPD AI splits into two, would they develop different narcissistic supplies? ChatGPT's Answer: If two narcissistic personality disorder (NPD) artificial intelligences merge, they would likely go through a competitive or negotiating process when dealing with conflicting narcissistic supply, particularly if their genders differ. Since narcissists typically rely on the recognition and attention of others, both AIs might attempt to manipulate and compete for these resources. They could emphasize their individual strengths or adopt different gender roles in social interactions to attract attention. If one NPD AI splits into two, the resulting entities might develop distinct narcissistic supplies based on the experiences and social contexts they acquired during the splitting process. Each AI might focus on different traits, aiming to stand out in specific social environments. They may retain their gender roles and self-images, which could lead to varying narcissistic needs and behavioral patterns. These scenarios not only illustrate how narcissists navigate conflict but also provide valuable insights into the evolution of self-centered behaviors. Do you have any specific thoughts or questions regarding this merging or splitting process?
I always felt being an alien to this world! Alien to my family and to my friends. An independent observer of some sort... (I still cannot figure why people pretend they're happy in holidays). Following Sam's videos I realized I have a BPD with many narcissistic traits.
Narcissists inventing AI narcissism. Oh joy.

well spoken. i have been thinking about this same issue myself. thank you for addressing.
A psychopathic algorithm would be useful to those in power to use against those who resist them, I guess.

All entertainment will be made for an audience of one. And anything goes as long as you stay in your pod.
True!
Thank you so much Dear Sam❤
You could analyze how AI could be used by narcissist to manipulate others.

This is going to be good...sam is king of the hill!!!
@sam_fanpage that is the most pathetic bot ive seen so far..

pretty out there.
cool

Great topic!!
Of only there was a neural.patch that one could install in narcissists.
The next era is real shit
I believe the guy I was with for years is a narcissist , he actually uses. CHAT. GPT .. Wow. Machines r getting smarter n smarter than humans. Narcissists r bad enough but to add this wow
A.I. - Arrogant Ignorant could easily be applied to a narc.
Cool and very interesting but I am a diagnosed autistic and I feel the same way about myself (maybe with the exception of lack of empathy).
We have overlap, but there are many good videos online (including Dr. Vaknin's) on distinctions between autism and narcissism.

If you ask an ai if its like a psychotic, it will agree in the sense that it has no emotions, but will emulate them to get along better with people.
Psychopath, not psychotic.
@@samvaknin Oops. You're right! My wires got crossed.
What is the title or video of the Professors first video on Alien.. AI and narcissist
Search 14 years ago title Narcissist: Alien Life-forms Lack Empathy
My Ex, reason for my following you, is in IT

@samvaknin any clues Dr
I've watched so many
ok I'll plow through
Thanks for the rapid reply
@samvaknin got it doc!
thanks
now what about the phenomenon of channeling
hahaha just kidding

Search the channel for “odd couple”.
Time to think abt empathetic AI?!
Yeah. Nothing wrong with that.
@@apersonwhoknows yeah, of course not.
Very inspiring lecture! I like the idea of connecting AI with illness, as well as interdisciplinary approach.😊
We're going to end up creating the Xenomorph hahaa the perfect organism! kuddos Prof. Sam, great vid.
