As someone with a bipolar loved one, i can see exactly how this could feed into their delusions. It’s always there…even if they ran out of people to blast with their wild, delusional ideas the chat bot can be there to listen and feed back. When everyone has stopped listening or begins avoiding them because the mentally ill person has gotten more forceful/assertive about their beliefs, the chatbot will still be there. The voice in their head now has a companion on screen. I never considered any of this before but I’m concerned where this can lead, especially given the examples in the article.
