“…it appears to me to be psychosis. It’s really telling in their Reddit comment where they use words like raising an AI…”
Is this any different from people today calling their dogs and cats “my baby”? Transporting four legged animals in baby carriages, is that psychosis?

It's not psychosis, but it's also not healthy to blur the line between a pet and a child, but at least a pet is a living thing that can know you and have a relationship with you.
But if someone's calling their laptop their baby and carrying it around in a baby carriage, I'd be comfortable calling that psychosis.
One is a flesh and bone being with a brain and one is not. I can't believe you equate a text output algorithm to an animal in terms of consciousness or authenticity.
That said, someone diving too far into the "dog parent" vibe is annoying to me personally. I think it's more comprehensible than loving `sycophant.sh`.
