That’s potato/potahto when it comes to mental illness. Without the tendency, it won’t develop. AI, because it embodies the potential to replace workers, accelerates the whole process. Making management not just look more psychotic, but become more psychotic, or at least be further down the path.
Because you can’t be horrible to others without feeling bad, no matter who you are. And how well you feel factors intimately into the intensity of mental illness.

“AI might feed their disease, but it was already there, and it didn’t hallucinate them into psychosis - they have always been right on the edge.”
Is a contradiction. Being on the edge of psychosis is not the same as being in one. Within this part you both claim that AI doesn’t hallucinate them into psychosis because they were already on the edge.
So your argument is “AI doesn’t hallucinate people into psychosis it just pushes them over the edge”
Which is exactly what hallucinating someone into psychosis means.
Why are you defending AI?

You are going to ridiculous lengths to be a troll.

Am I?
Cuz the way it looks to me we’re both simply trying to discuss something different.
Where the point I’m trying to get across is: “If you lay the blame solely on the people getting psychosis then you’re actively covering up the harm AI can do” With this in mind: when I read your comments your point is interpreted as: “Psychosis is something that’s guaranteed to happen because you’re born with it, AI doesn’t influence it”
Whereas the point you’re trying to make is probably more in line with “AI didn’t suddenly make CEO’s greedier, they already were and blaming AI for that rather than capitalism, is bad”
The problem then lies within the expectation of how discussions on the internet go. By going into the “I need to win” mindset which the internet comments are famous for. Its easy to fall into the mindset of being opponents rather than 2 people trying to convey what they think is important. I believe we both entered this mindset somewhere through the argument.
Look, I can’t know what you find important because you’ve ignored my questions and instead opted to attack my (sometimes shaky) arguments instead. Which is fair but this doesn’t help in opening the conversation to new perspectives. It more or less turns it into a debate instead.
This time however its clear you’ve given up on trying to communicate your point. Which is a shame because I was trying to understand it. I even think I’ll be able to if you give me context to your thought process similarly as to how I just tried.
