Generative A.I. chatbots are going down conspiratorial rabbit holes and endorsing wild, mystical belief systems. For some people, conversations with the technology can deeply distort reality.

Normal people respond to addiction or mental illness of people they interact with in ways not designed to make things worse.

I love and appreciate your optimism.

That's not too much to ask of chatbots.

Yes it is, because LLMs aren't people. They don't think or reason or consider. If someone was standing on a bridge, and a parrot said "do it, squawk, do it" you wouldn't blame the parrot.

Maybe you should blame the people who spent the last half decade proclaiming loudly that parrots hold all wisdom and soon parrots will take your job and rule world. Those people make billions of dollars off of parrots, but the birds themselves aren't people and cant think.
