Anyone else concerned about how many regular AI chatbot users are on this sub?
I see a lot of posts about people using ChatGPT and other AI chatbots for reasons aside from the tools that they can be, mostly for work because they aren't very good tools in most people's daily home lives. It's worrying to me, because maybe some people are using them as friend replacements if they don't have any or many, which would be really bad for someone's brain long term. AI isn't a uniquely bad new technology, but the way I see a lot of people on this sub use it is really concerning, because it basically rots your brain in the same way if not worse than short-form content like TikTok and Youtube Shorts. I don't know, is this a trend anyone else is seeing and finds worrysome?
EDIT: to clarify - I am not concerned with people using AI to write cover letters for job applications, as long as you look them over, or using it to help gather sources for research, or even help explain the possible meaning and intent behind someone's message. If anyone, autistic or allistic, is using it as a tool or learning aid, then there is no issue provided there isn't a reliance on it. I am concerned about the people using it as a therapist, as medical advice without a second opinion or fact check, using it as a friend, and using it as a partner, as I wouldn't be surprised if companies either are or will begin to prey on lonely autistic people for money, and AI psychosis is a documented thing that autistic people could be at higher risk for.
