People without signs of mental illness are experiencing psychosis using LLMs. Psychosis is not indicative of mental illness, in fact people without any signs can experience temporary psychosis. Hypnopompic hallucinations are so common that almost all of us experience them and these can be considered psychosis (Allan Hobson). The problem is words are inherently schizophrenia-inducing if they are subjective enough (McLuhan). LLMs are simply too subjective because the words have lost contact with context, that is the central function of words. LLMs can't exclude their dark matter.

The tech isn't ready not because the species isn't ready. It's because nothing trained on words is specific. The input comes arbitrary, ie it's not viable as units. Words are unfit for automation.
