  • As someone with a bipolar loved one, i can see exactly how this could feed into their delusions. It’s always there…even if they ran out of people to blast with their wild, delusional ideas the chat bot can be there to listen and feed back. When everyone has stopped listening or begins avoiding them because the mentally ill person has gotten more forceful/assertive about their beliefs, the chatbot will still be there. The voice in their head now has a companion on screen. I never considered any of this before but I’m concerned where this can lead, especially given the examples in the article.



  • You can’t, because they’re all operated and used by humans. While there may be a logical framework and rules to make a system like capitalism work, it’s the fact that not all humans will respect or follow the rules. Eventually any fairness or equality the rules are supposed to ensure will be worked around by humans that choose not to play fair. Watching the response Mamdami received from the Dems is a perfect example of why our system is broken. He’s got the popular vote of the party, yet they are doing everything in their power to stop him. That’s merely a single recent example though, shit has been broken since the get-go
