100%. Honestly the people in here are victims of the grift, the LLM bring used akin to a drug

He definitely has lots of issues, but never got help the help he obviously needs. Going to implode on him someday sadly.

I can get behind a lot of this take. Agreed on being good use cases like translation, image/data processing, and so on.

Honestly disturbing and fascinating at the same time. People will bond with anything, yet some will dehumanize real people that are different. Can understand the temptation of a perfect partner, but this always-yes enabling chat bots are toxic. It would be one thing if these were true AI’s in the fully sentient/sapient sense, but this is just self-delusion.

Another reason I hate how the term AI has been co-opted by tech bros, using the term to increase sales, poisoning the true meaning.

Not soon enough. I think a good amount of people/would-be users are seeing through the con, but not enough and not fast enough to shut down this grift yesterday.

Please please please be satire

Damn, I was worried this (delusions/addiction) could happen, but had no idea it had already started.

The siren call of always being right, being vindicated, being praised, etc that is like crack to our social brains.
