I think about this post a lot.

Why the Computer Scientist Behind the World's First Chatbot Dedicated His Life to Publicizing the Threat Posed by A.I. Joseph Weizenbaum realized that programs like his Eliza chatbot could "induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people"

“What I had not realized is that extremely short exposures to a relatively simple computer program could induce powerful delusional thinking in quite normal people,” he wrote in 1976.
