When does a cognitive crutch morph into a cognitive dependency? Or then to a cognitive prison?

Like a dependency on cocaine, lots of people delude themselves they can avoid addiction, until their supply gets too expensive or unavailable.

Watching people go cold turkey during the height of the covid pandemic was reportedly horrific.

What happens when the LLM is manipulated to give only Republican viewpoints? Or only antivaxxer ideology?

Or pro-fossil fuel perspectives? Or pro-evangelical indoctrination? Or pro-slavery history lessons?

What happens to the users of these AI companies when the startup goes bankrupt in the AI bubble? It's stolen data, what happens to the data in a bankruptcy?

What happens when mandated use of an energy wasteful application comes before preventing an ecocide, mass unemployment, or double digit electricity rate increases?

The dependency can be abused to get government bailouts & subsidies.
