The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And again, in fairness, I should also say, like, if people are prone to delusion and AI is overly sycophantic, like, then it is going to feed delusions.

The a16z Show

And so there is kind of a serious element to that among people who are kind of predisposed to that kind of thing.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

But again, it's like, okay, yes, there's some number of those cases.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

But that causes kind of AI critics or AI doomers to basically say, anybody, therefore, who reports a positive, productive experience of AI has fallen into AI psychosis.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Right.

And so anybody who actually is like, wow, my productivity is way up or wow, I really have a thought partner for the first time in my work or wow, I really have been able to produce something that I never would have been able to produce before.

The a16z Show

You know, that's sort of all bucketed under, you know, they all have, they all have AI psychosis, which I, which I, and then that led me to my, my, my, my, my AI cope, right.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Which is the other side of it, which is like AI cope is classifying anybody who has a positive experience with AI as being an AI psychosis.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And, you know, AI cope is this thing where in, you know, concentrated in certain places on the planet where people are just like absolutely hell bent on proving to themselves and everybody else that this whole thing is a complete, you know, fraud, fake, you know, as a stochastic parrot, AI is fake, it doesn't work.

The a16z Show

And if anybody's having a good experience, you know, they must be full of it.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And so that's the AI cope.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And I would describe the AI cope as people who are basically dismissive.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

And then AI psychosis, psychosis is the people who get really mad.

The a16z Show

who froth at the mouth.

And so maybe it's a echo, but with a different loading.

The a16z Show

And then look, all of this is going to become just like so much more intense over the next several years because, you know, look, the reality is that, you know, the large language models that we had between call it 19, yeah, or sorry, 20, call it between like GPT-2 to GPT-4

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Something like that.

The a16z Show
Marc Andreessen on Builder Culture in the Age of AI

Maybe four and a half.
