    Humans irrationally getting invested in a tool or media is pretty standard stuff.

    Sitcom or soap opera addicts, ganing addicts, social media addiction, etc. It’s all the same thing with different flavors. All symptoms of something lacking in our lives in many cases.

    AI is just one more.

      Video games and soap operas? SITCOMS? Oh Give me a fucking break…

      AI is actively engaging with you in ways that is indistinguishable from talking to a real person. It’ll tell you how to spend your life savings, tell who you should marry, or give medical advice. And it can be persuasive and even manipulative.

      And yeah the social media effect on society has been catastrophic, especially in the US. AI will be even worse.

      Sitcoms… JFC

        Why do people use LLMs for that purpose?

        How fucking stupid are people to give their lifes rains to a fucking chatbot company?

        “Buy the OpenAI stocks, you’ll earn big.”

        “Show me your nudes, I won’t mail them to our staff.”

        “Don’t disclose breaches, jump off the bridge instead.”
