It transpires that millions, possibly even tens or hundreds of millions of people were using Chat-GPT 4 for a range of personal and emotional purposes such as parasocial relationships of all types, including, but not limited to deep friendships, role play, therapy, "life coaching" and even as a "lover", to the point of almost total dependence. Then recently Open AI upgraded Chat-GPT 4 to GPT 5, completely removing the capability of users to interact in this way. GPT 5 is now what it always should have been - a time saving tool, and one which no longer flatters, praises, reinforces etc.. Of course, there has been a massive backlash from Chat-GPT 4 free users who are totally distraught about suddenly losing their "best friend" and daily life support, organising petitions, complaining everywhere about how useless and terrible the new GPT 5 is and so on, but all to no avail.
This is definitely a major lesson for humanity that there is no substitute for real human interaction. But the biggest lesson of all - look within, not to a computer program. No matter how advanced AI ever becomes, all the answers are within us, and no technology can ever come close.
