This is not Cyberpunk 2077 and "AI psychosis" is trash, just like the article.

Someone is mentally ill, and can use AI. Doesn't mean AI is the problem. A mentally ill person can also use a car. Let's ban cars?

A car won't manipulate you into ending your's or someone else's life. You just get on the car and do it. An AI can lead you from a fragile state of mind to a suicidal state of mind.

Not saying I want AIs to be banned or that the article is good, I'm just argumenting that your analogy could potentially be flawed.

Even a song can do that, or a movie
Exactly, but definitely not a car.
AIs don’t have agency and cannot manipulate anyone either.
