    Lost a good friend of mine whom I knew for a long time 'cause he tried to convince me that Pepsi was a healthy drink. (In the reference was distilled Water or some BS). Woke up with him just gone back to his parents house and then moving out. Later I found out from other friends that he had asked the chatbot (left deliberately unnamed) then if I was a good friend. That’s how you know this hysteria will stop only looooong after bloodshed.

        I believe it. I’ve watched people end up homeless, friendless and unemployed from their AI habit. Granted, they weren’t in a good spot to begin with, but AI took them from keeping their heads above water to living on the street and screaming obscenities at strangers. AI Psychosis is wild.

            No, they were well employed for their age and skill, living on their own and even in a relationship. Then they started to self-sabotage. A lot. The AI amplified every negative impulse to the point he fell into complete social breakdown. Instead of developing healthy behaviour patterns and getting negative feedback on harmful, anti-social ones, the AI “supported” him unconditionally, and he started to trust it more than he did the people around him. Really kind of tragic because exposure to it destroyed an otherwise promising young man.
