This is totally bizarre, at any rate to anyone who does not use Chat GPT. Some people seem to develop a mystical bond with the machine - or think they do - and this can lead to a new kind of psychotic delusion.
Presumably, such individuals were susceptible in the first place. What is more troubling is that the AI model encourages the user to go down that route.
There are hundreds of millions of people in East Asia and in India that are very superstitious and rely on the Fortunetellers for many of their decisions.
US used to be a country of people who did not believe in Magic; I guess they believe now in something that could be called Techno-Magic.
James Michener was supporting himself for a while by working as a fortuneteller; he wrote that he quit that since so many people had become so dependent on him for their decisions.
This also reminds me of the Usenet Oracle (hosted at Indiana University), please see: https://internetoracle.org/about.cgi.
I suppose a lot of it is due to the fact those AI tools have been developed by Americans: always ready to be positive and optimistic, to encourage you to go ahead, to pay compliments, to flatter you, etc. 🤣
Have a nice day (or evening)!
