So far it seems to be the biggest AI risks is widespread "AI 
psychosis", the more you talk to AI, the more it creates 
psychosis and weird delusions. But D being good right now is some 
evidence from judgement not having been clouded by delusions in 
the past. So it would help if we are really sure not to "give up" 
and embrace magical thinking and psychosis.

Using LLMs for review (not letting them create) is on the other 
hand rather fruitful, like super good static analysis. Going 
full-vibe creates a sort of agitation that feels good but 
stressful a bit like hypomania.

That is to say, the letter highlight the copyright risk, but 
underneath there is imo the much uglier problem of destroying 
community.
