This happens all over the place already. I see apprentices blindly throwing prompts at ChatGPT á la "how do I accomplish [X] in [library I have no expertise in]?. The biggest problem is: it doesn't even force you to form a coherent question. You can just throw word salad at it and feel "understood" in response. I don't have the phantasy to imagine how this will impact the loops of, for example, confirmation bias - for basically anyone who isn't a deeply critical thinker/engineer. The dim and the loud are about to get even more confident _and_ even more shallow at the same time. They don't need to be fully convinced of AI's sentience for this dynamic to become very problematic very quickly. They just want to feel "understood", and that's exactly what they will feel like.
