Interesting. The way I interpreted the article, ChatGPT was being described as the perfect cult leader, as opposed to follower.

A person at the end of their rope, grasping for answers to their existential questions, hears about an all-knowing oracle. The oracle listens to all manner of questions and thoughts, no matter how incoherent, and provides truthful-sounding “wisdom” on demand 24/7. The oracle even fits in your pocket, they can go with you everywhere, so leader and follower are never apart. And because these conversations are taking place privately, it feels like the oracle is revealing the truth to them and them alone, like Moses receiving the 10 Commandments.

For someone with the right mix of psychological issues, that could be a potent cocktail.
