The AI will hallucinate.

The AI will tell people all sorts of things that are flattering, and they lose that distinction.

How many people this is happening to, we don't know.

My wife has begun to only talk to AI.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

And you might think, well, why don't they just take this away from their child?

The same question was asked about the smartphone.

Why do you not pull this phone away from your child?

A television, video games, why don't you pull them back?

I mean, the sad reality is that a lot of parents don't feel they have that control.

A lot of parents do, fortunately, but those who don't are seeing their kids either on their own time, like at home, or, you know, when they're out of the home, there's only so much control.

At any rate, it's having direct impacts right now on people's relationships.

They are absolutely... It's kind of a wall, not unlike a video game or a bookworm, except that the difference is...

A book doesn't watch you, right?

And a book doesn't, the conversation you have with a book is all in your head.

It's kind of, you have your own volition.

With the AI, it's advanced enough to hold sustained conversation over the course of, I mean, basically indefinitely, the context window is limited.
