I read his piece as well - I'm very nervous about how this may impact kids. Some are savvy and want nothing to do with AI in this way but others, especially the more vulnerable ones, may easily turn to AI for companionship, friendship, and more. Giant social experiment we are having right now. Nice piece.
Thank you. I am also very nervous, I am seeing friends turn to AI and it is being incredibly bold to say things. My friend is blind, and has incredible challenges, AI has been helping in so many ways, but the same system nearly made him leave a stable and supportive environment for some crazy kind of idea he had. If you use custom instructions and project knowledge, you can look at ideas though lateral thinking, and perhaps that is something that needs to be taught as well.
My views on the danger the type of mentality his essay reenforces towards our fellow humans not withstanding.
I don't think it need be deliberately engineered at all. It is easily demonstrable that this is an emergent property given the listed ingredients. So to claim that it needs be engineered intentionally to do this, seems like a huge stretch. Rather you must go out of your way to engineer it out of the equation.

I can see how easily we will fall into this trap...

As we do often in our own social discourses.
