Side note: I am furious that I wasn’t able to find the name of this syndrome without ChatGPT. Is this a skill issue or are traditional search engines (in this case DuckDuckGo) just completely useless now?
duckduckgo has become pretty worthless for search, ecosia is slightly better i think but without the privacy benefits. i have a local llm running in koboldcpp that i use if i really need to just bounce words off something while it nods along
Traditional search engines are fucking garbage lately. You search for two words and it gives you generic results for whichever’s more popular. Or it decides a brief phrase, however generic, must mean exactly one thing, so you only see results related to a song by that title.
Depends on the human. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cotard's_syndrome

I googled “human thinks he’s dead” and that Wikipedia page was the first result
well “skill issue” was one of the options so it might be that
Why “human”? Seems a weird way to phrase it but I can’t deny it works.
Well I don’t think you’d find it if you tried platypus
Normally these types of articles use more clinical verbiage
Pretty much the whole Internet got worse in the last decade. Search engines are a pain to use nowadays.

seems like it might be skill issue in this case. a Google search for “medical condition person thinks they’re dead” gave it immediately

Honestly while I don’t like the AI searches, this instance maybe skill issue. Brain fart or smth
that seems to be the consensus, I’ve accepted it :P
