It is a fascinating problem... earlier on, it was found that conspiracy theorists were more easily persuaded towards truth via AI than humans making the same points. Of course, there's no reason it can't go the other way too. It's great when the goal is to break your belief in a flat earth, but more concerning when it's to sell you running shoes.

It's been disarmingly good at small-to-medium therapy tasks, but then my therapy needs are relatively low and I'm a reasonably nice person. When narcissists use it, I have to imagine things can go south quite fast.
