Reading some of those comments was eye opening. There are a lot of people who have a deeply unhealthy attachment to ChatGPT. I still think that the idea of AI safety (because it might become Skynet or whatever) is bogus, but it seems clear to me that we as a society need to do something about these unhealthy attachments people are forming. It's genuinely very bad.

Agreed, but surely part of the solution is getting the companies that build AI and the 'journalists' that cover it and its enthusiasts to stop pitching it as a cure for loneliness and/or a substitute for therapy.

The fundamental problem with 'AI safety' as a concept was that it was far too focused on 'what if a sci-fi thing happens?' vs 'how will people actually interact with these and what will go wrong?'
