The article presents zero evidence and sounds as if it were written as a dogshit gossip article spread through a throwaway magazine at grocery store racks claiming aliens impregnated a man.
And every article on this cites the same futurism.com article which provides no real evidence. Totally unreliable.
But at least that's believable. A male-presenting person with a vagina has sex with a man and doesn't want to admit to the situation because it seems gay and that is shunned at the time.
Probably written by ChatGPT
Yeah, it produces a couple of salient points about AI and mental health, but then it feels the need bookend them with these lurid tales of sudden madness. Honestly when you have dudes leaving their wives and kids for chat bots out in the real world, you really don't need to spin yarns of deific delusions. Or at least you should back them up with a source.
People are cashing in on anti-AI hysteria. I've seen people claim that the goal of these things is specifically to create new mental illnesses.
