Inside Her AI Love Spiral

Today im talking to Micky Small, someone who spiraled with her chatgpt back in april and may during the famous glaze dayz JUST LIKE ME! (And a lot of other people.)

I met Micky back in august when I joined the Human Line Connection discord, the place where people who have had wild experiences with AI go to commune and figure out what the heck happened. Since august, micky has talked to like 15 media outlets about her experience and researched the fuck out of LLMs. SO in this episode we hear the details of her experience and what she’s been doing since.
