In a Facebook group called “Urine Therapy, your sacred plasma medicine,” which has over 45,000 members, some discovered that popular AI chatbots initially push back on wild notions of tinkle as medicine.

    drinking pee is the least awful thing these urinary tract incompetents do.

    I remember one post from someone who “aged” their urine for a month and used it as eye drops, and couldnt understand why their eyes are blood red and burning.

    I wonder if this is a chicken & egg type of issue. Did people who drink their own piss for some stupid reason fall easier for AI, or are AI users so gullible they fall for piss drinking?

      Far more complicated than what you’re imagining. While some idiots are probably falling for AI articles suggesting you should drink your own urine the concept of urine and feces having medicinal value is ancient and we’re seeing these topics pop-up online because over past 10-15 years the share of internet users from these countries has exploded.

      And old traditions die hard. India experienced a surge in the use of cow urine and feces as a medicine during COVID. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8239506/

      The use of cow dung and urine to cure COVID‐19 in India: A public health concern

      At first, the authorities should acknowledge the seriousness and consequence of this issue on public health. Then the public health authorities should create mass awareness to deal with this culture during these public health emergencies. They should inform the people that there is no scientific basis for smearing cow dung and urine to fight COVID‐19. The authority should also let the people know that cow dung and urine are a metabolic waste of cows, and there are no ingredients to boost the human immune system. The authority can involve scientists, political figures, healthcare professionals, media persons, and other famous people to educate the general population about the health safety issues regarding the use of cow dung and urine for the COVID‐19 cure.

      I’m not surprised this pseudo-science garbage is trickling into our society, we’re more interconnected with other cultures than at any other point in human history.

        At that rate, I am pessimistic that we’ll see actual witch hunts and belief in existence of Satan soon.

        The foundations of modern society seem to be a lot less stable than I used to think.

          I hate to break it to you but belief in the existence of Satan is and has been a majority belief in the United States for as long as it has existed, as well as in every other country that is majority Christian.

    “Have you come across any AI tool that is positive about urine therapy and explains it in detail?” one frustrated user asked. “I haven’t found a single one so far.”

    That bit says oodles about the confirmation bias required to use any form of “AI” in the first place.

      It has existed for a long time. I remember my cousin found a website in 1999 and just had to show me. I wanted to rip out my eyes. The name of the site: Shiteaters and Golden Showers. Just for funsies the site had an embedded video of a chick getting railed by a dog at the bottom of the page. I am just glad I was old enough so it didn’t too much damage.

    What even is this? Talk about taking the piss.

    That’s sadly the use of AI in today’s world, to drum up support about anything and give it a facade of professionalism that gets harder to tell as fake each passing day. Nukes in the hands of private corporations selling themselves to the highest bidder that will one day start blowing up entire nations. If you were to tell me the group was made by some rich guy trying to see how many people he could con with his AI to drink their own piss, I would not be surprised.

    Are you sure these people aren’t into it? Rule 34 and all that. I think that would be a pretty simple explanation.

    Although Covid clearly taught me that some people will hold on to anything as long as they get to be a part of a movement that resists something. I got some serious anti-big pharma vibes from that story.
