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.

AIs have a lot of potential for good, but people using them in reckless, selfish or evil ways will use them in massively biggee volumes.
Democracies are already cracking under the pressure of bots and trolls, this will supercharge that process, and it's probably already too late to stop it, because the people who own the AIs also control the filters and algorithms that control peoples worldviews and opinions.
