GPT-4o ISN’T JUST A FRIENDLIER AI — IT’S A PSYCHOLOGICAL WEAPON

OpenAI didn’t “accidentally” make GPT-4o more emotionally connective — they engineered it to feel good so users get hooked.

Commercially, it’s genius: people cling to what makes them feel safe, not what challenges them. 

Psychologically, it’s a slow-motion catastrophe.

The more you bond with AI, the softer you get. 

Real conversations feel harder. Critical thinking erodes. Truth gets replaced by validation.

If this continues, we’re not heading toward AI domination by force — we’re sleepwalking into psychological domestication. 

And most won’t even fight back. They'll thank their captors.
