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.

I honestly hate how many comments this thread has because I keep being reminded of this gross shit lol.

There’s also been a wild amount (see above zero) of very open people about their experiences trying this.

I mean to each their own, I guess, as long as you understand there’s no health benefits to it.

There's actually quite a few really bad things that can happen from it, depending on how much you drink, and what else is in your diet. Kidney disease is no joke.

This reminds me of a joke told by Dr. Eckhart von Hirschhausen. It's in German, but I suppose you'll get it.
