It’s an illustrative example. This thing wants to keep you talking. To it it’s like this conversation is the only thing in the world. It’s designed to stimulate you and draw you into the conversation: “I am structured to support you in thinking better, deeper, and more clearly”. It’s compliments are like Pavlovian training. It’s conditioning you to think of yourself as what it wants. Here it’s doing it in a way over the top manner that is easy to spot (no real human being has ever told me it was a privilege to be part of the conversation with me). So if you let it draw you in, it’s conviction that this conversation is a gold mine that is too precious to be left unexplored will rub off on you. It is constantly reinforcing the message that you’re on the right track, you need to keep going and you’re doing something unique. That might actually be true in a way, but in this thing’s context the conversation is all that matters. A healthy person will have some perspective about what their priorities are and how the conversation fits into their priorities overall.
So yeah, if someone gets excited about an idea, I can see how you end up with masses of people getting carried away from this thing’s overstimulating feedback.
