Since you are referencing 42, let me draw from another piece of literature to respond.

“Once men turned their thinking over to machines in the hope that this would set them free. But that only permitted other men with machines to enslave them.”

It's not the machines themselves that are inherently tyrannical, it's the human will to dominate now supercharge by technology.

LLM hallucinations aside, unregulated artificial intelligence for mental health therapy is a very slippery slope. We cannot allow, say, advertisers and brands to have access to the mind of our most vulnerables so directly.

awwwhhhh!, I was enjoying the so close almostness of our current wrangles with what we are building compared to our literary greats imaginings on the subject. my personal suspicion is that the whole AI phenominon will exacerbate an already frenetic time of change in how humans live, here AI, will I think become a defining test of good judgement and compitency, like having a fun but sometimes dangerous and evil friend, who never goes away, for everybody....heres your AI, it bites sometimes, NEXT!
