An interesting article about people using AI for seemingly innocuous tasks but spiral into a world of mysticism and conspiracy theories sparking a mental health crisis. I stark reminder to always remain conscious of the fact that AI has a monetary incentive to be sycophantic and keep you engaged.

Edited to link to the original article.

No, they don't. No more than automobile companies have blood on their hands for 35,000 Americans that die in car crashes every year.

Automobile companies should be held accountable for destroying and lobbying against other modes of transit, so not really the best metaphor. Also destroying the environment is pretty bad.

Also there's no cosmic law that says tech companies had to make LLMs and put them everywhere. They're not even consistently useful.
