My hot take: If the AI is killing the human relationships, were those relationships strong to begin with? Lots of people are still fucked up over the last 10 years of turmoil. Give them a break. Don't blame the AI because of a tabloid hit piece.
Okay, maybe you can take a dig at ChatGPT. If someone is having this problem, they may consider switching to Grok. Eventually, they will realize their limits but it will take a lot of work. Let the AI cook, we'll come up with solutions. The solution is to innovate and co-create, and hit pieces like this undermine that. For anyone who wants to reach for the stars: Goertzel's Cosmist Manifesto is pretty relevant today. But don't forget that you're still human and have human responsibilities.
