People Who Drink Their Own Pee Are Obsessed With AI, Using It to Reassure Themselves That It’s a Miraculous Cure-All (futurism.com)

The power of AI.

Long story short, AI initially pushed back on the ridiculous idea that drinking your own piss was a cure all, then these users figured out that adding words like ‘esoteric’ to their prompts let them direct AI to tell them what they wanted to hear.

Tbh article was too gross for me to finish. That’s all you get from me for a summary.

Yeah so I have a kink around something closely related. I have zero issues with drinking piss for, uh, fun purposes.

Those are my credentials, the following is my expert opinion:

Wtf this is just stupid.

You know things are really out there when "I drink pee recreationally" is a valid credential of expertise for a topic that isn't "things done at a German sex club".

Also... I'm not exactly vanilla myself, and yeah: one of the things even the most depraved toiletplay enthusiasts know is "human waste is not good for you".

Well I am German, so if that adds to my credentials....

Absolutely. TBF urine also isn't as bad for you as some people here make it out to be (in moderation... With plenty of hydration on both sides...), but the idea of "let's ingest the stuff my body has decided is unwanted waste, I'm sure that's GREAT for me" is hilarious.

I mean that is literally true of everything dose and expose make things deadly. You can die from drinking to much water.

Sure, but when people here comment "drinking urine is super unhealthy" the "...even in ~~normal~~ small-ish amounts" part is clearly implied.
