Is that really so crazy? People who overcome addictive eating disorders still have to eat a little bit. LLMs are going to be pervasive in all aspects of human society so avoiding them will be much harder than avoiding alcohol.
replyAlcohol is not a necessity, just to be fair. In that sense alcoholism is not a simple eating disorder, it is a drug addiction.
replyFrom what I have seen, people who get through eating disorders describe it as having a healthier relationship with food.
replyGetting to that point requires doing substantial work.

replyAI guardrails continue to make safety improvements — comparing a rapidly evolving advanced technology to a drug is a broken analogy to me. One gets safer over time; the other gets more dangerous.
replyBut also, the risk profile and statistics are radically different: alcohol is inherently dangerous (toxic) to everyone. Chatbots are just another tool — there are a small percentage of people with unhealthy relationships to any tool, but that does not make the tool a dangerous drug.
