Most people have friends and family to "glaze" them anyway. I don't see it as a major danger. Also, it's gotten better with the glazing lately anyway.
replyThe danger is in the replacement. Confiding in others builds a web of trust. Talking about a break-up with a friend builds a relationship, and the next time that friend needs someone, they know you're an option. It's economics, borrowing and trading emotional support. AI as confidant destroys that economy.
replyTens of millions of people disagree with you. What makes you think you know better than them what is right for them?
replyThis line of reasoning doesn't hold up for many harmful habits that people voluntarily partake in. It's OK for someone to believe that using an AI as an approximate therapist might be a bad idea, especially in light of the many publicly documented cases of AI feeding delusional thoughts and encouraging suicide.
reply> This line of reasoning doesn't hold up for many harmful habits that people voluntarily partake in.
replyIt absolutely does, you just believe you can decide for others what’s harmful for them.
Who's deciding for anybody?
replyThe plethora of AI psychosis reports. The existence of my boyfriend is AI subreddit and almost all the content on it.
