Anyone else feel like they've lost loved ones to AI or they're in the process of losing someone to AI?

I know the stories about AI induced psychosis, but I don't mean to that extent.

Like just watching how much somebody close to you has changed now that they depend on AI for so much? Like they lose a little piece of what makes them human, and it kinda becomes difficult to even keep interacting with them.

Example would be trying to have a conversation with somebody who expects you to spoon-feed them only the pieces of information they want to hear.

Like they've lost the ability to take in new information if it conflicts with something they already believe to be true.

One thing I don't get with people fearing AI is when something adds AI and suddenly it's a privacy nightmare. Yeah, in some cases it does make it worse, but in most cases, what was stopping the company from taking your data anyways? LLMs are just algorithms that process data and output something, they don't inherently give firms any additional data. Now, in some cases that means data that previously wasn't or that shouldn't be sent to a server is now being sent, but I've seen people complain about privacy so often in cases where I don't understand why AI is your tipping point, if you don't trust the company to not store your data when using AI, why trust it in the first place?

The orphan crushing machine needs its line go up as much as everyone else, don't be mean to it!

Why would you want to stop enhancing it? How else can we get those sweet stories about heroes saving orphans? Have you seen the news lately! We NEED this.
