This makes sense if you think of chatbots as "faster books," or books plus a TikTok algo. Every kind of BS ever written is already in the training data. No one culled out falsehoods or "bad data." Since the tool is trained to respond precisely to your prompts, the algo feeding you (truth or) BS is laser focused and highly effective.

Hundreds of millions of users is a big ice cream scoop, and 1% of people will have a psychotic episode. Hard to avoid an overlap.

I think it is a chicken and egg situation. The atomisation of society is an engineered situation, and the result of that is that people turn to AI for company.
