alt Hacker News>If you have a toolbox full of similar but different tool getting to know them is a prudent thing to do, not a psychosis
Can be both. Use of some tools like LLMs might be more inducing psychosis than others like plain compilers or hammers.

To the point of self-destruction sometimes.

I really don't get it. Why the fact that it outputs words is so goddamn important for everybody? How does it suddenly make you so emotionally vulnerable? Does my brain work in a different way than the rest of humanity? Can't you disregard what's irrelevant? Is every programmer suddenly a trump supporter that has no ability to recognize empty words? To recognize lies about emotions and facts?
Words are just input. Mostly garbage. Emotion inducing words are garbage 10 times more often than any other. I could expect romance reader to be affected, or somebody with iq 70. But how the caste of some of the most technical people ever is afraid of catching psychosis just because they might read some words?
