> LLMs encourage people's delusions by default, it's just a question of how receptive you are to them
There are absolutely plenty of people who encourage others' flat earth delusions by default, it's just a question of how receptive you are to them.
> There is no good that comes from having all of your perspective distortions validated as facts. They turn into outright delusions without external grounding.
Again, that sounds like a people problem. Dictators infamously fall into this trap too.
Why are we holding LLMs to a higher standard than humans? If you don't like an LLM, then don't interact with it, just as you wouldn't interact with a human you dislike. If others are okay with having their egos stroked and their delusions encouraged and validated, that's their prerogative.
