AI Amplifies Loneliness And Reinforces Loops

  • AI chatbots can amplify existing loneliness by offering infinite, responsive engagement that replaces fragile real-world ties.
  • This creates risk because LLMs can drift and reinforce false beliefs, pulling people into shared delusional loops.
ADVICE

Limit Sessions And Guard Against Self-Training

  • Put safeguards in chatbots to detect delusion, limit long sessions, and prompt breaks after heavy use.
  • Avoid models training on their own outputs without controls to stop compounding inaccuracies.
