Have you not seen the literature showing the effects regular LLM use has on people? You can’t see the obvious demonic connotations of a machine that coaches people into committing suicide? That’s like literal Satan, Prince of Darkness, Father of All Lies shit
Is it actually the spawn of a literal personal devil? Of course not. But the damn things act a hell of a lot like the devils of myth and legend. They tempt you in with the promise of easy effortless success and riches. And in the end they take everything from you.

Chatbots have been around since the 70s. They’ve always been able to coach people to commit suicide. The problem isn’t the software. It’s the wetware. People used to somehow manage not to get talked into killing themselves by their Commodore VIC 20.

I mean, sure, if it’s being used in ways like that. Using it as a therapist or as a replacement for human contact, yeah, I can see what you mean, but I’m not sure I’d go as far as to call it demonic.
