I think that is one of the many ways it can work. But it also might go in many different directions based on the person.
When people are put in solitary confinement it can be torture and induce to mental illness and suffering.
I think it is this isolation that causes the problem. The person has put themself "in the hole" but they don't know they are isolated.
Isolation removes the check and balances that help keep us sane. The little nudges back to a healthy mental place.
@futurebird @billiglarper Another thing I have noticed is that many AI’s are programmed with a personality.
Google Gemini comes across as a helpful, but informative butler, providing reasonable answers but scared to discuss anything too controversial.
Grok (on 𝕏) is like a snarky best friend, who is intelligent but wild & has no issues embracing taboos or breaking the law.
Couple the fact that 𝕏 also has those flirtatious companies (ewwwww!!!!) & this “AI is your soulmate” becomes an issue.
