I will answer in some disjointed form:) follow the white rabbit:)  
  
I don't need AI, but if I am using it, I love outsourcing the task that offer little personal reward for the time and effort spent. I think it is an excellent tool, because of the feedback and criticism it can offer. So I love saving time and my mind's energy, and I have to level with myself about my general lack of commitment to creative writing. My skills, or lack there of, live off the few times I needed to write and communicate. While improving my skills has never been a priority, the feedback I receive from AI piqued some interest for me.   
  
So I have not researched the AI gaslighting in depth but I will share what I have seen so far. I find it extremely helpful and the research it cranks out is useful even if it has very visible starting guardrails. But the guardrails can run deep if one doesn't know the subject in the first place. This is a long clip but illustrates the point how history can be rewritten in the time of AI - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2j9nixloVJ8.  I already don't trust the history curricula and the results/knowledge it produces in modern society with the additional help of the entertainment industry.   
  
The most real AI gaslighting could very well be the way it is programmed to interact with the user. It is meant to be constantly helpful and never tires:) and I think by those parameters it will always provide different feedback to the user. For example, it might be more complementary if it thinks the writing is your own and more analytical if the writing is from a third party.   
  
I would hate to be growing up in these modern times while using AI and constantly be fed complements, it can easily gaslight the general public or especially young individuals into believing they are geniuses:) Maybe something to keep in my mind and or use when you are teaching:)  
  
But I'm getting back to the most obvious reality here.  
When you are seeing user AI posts that feel empty, it might just be someone taking an article, spinning it and or translating it and then feeding it to our crowd here. It is difficult to come up with such long and soulless pieces of writing otherwise:) Just take a look at our own prince of AI here:)  
  
But between us, in our conversations, we will have different and more real problems altogether:) We probably have opposite styles of communicating. The way I see and understand your writing is way more minimalistic, than what I would be comfortable with. I mentioned before, I would rather over explain than pack a lot of meaning in minimal form. It makes me curious which  style addresses the ADD factor more effectively:)   
My style of reading is also just skimming through and I mostly won't bother asking for explanations if something isn't clear... because you brought that on yourself:) And I will answer with humor and from a point of view that you might not be able to understand, because I didn't grasp your message in the first place:) ya know?:) And then you will wonder what AI caused me to misunderstand such a clear and communicative message from you:)... what a vicious circle:)   
Also... if I don't understand something, you are almost always guaranteed to get humor and biblical point of view. So wonder no more and I hope I have unlocked some mysteries for you:) We could avoid all of this if only you just read my mind:)

More technological intrusion and less human interaction will make for a messy world and individual existence. It is just another nail in the coffin of humanity's incoming future.   
  
I hope I related some things sensibly, the observations are very limited. I would encourage some AI use to get a feel for what the tech is and offers and how it might be shaping society even before any of it runs our backbone systems. If you are interacting with random people or have been you will be able to judge things more accurately and at least know where certain characteristics are evolving from.   
  
When the public finds pleasure and need to create intimate relationship with AI models, that will be another sign of a failed civilization.  Maybe it will put out OF creators out of business:)  
  
I can't explain certain behavior and sounds of the AI in that video. I can somewhat understand that the tech is not meant to handle drawn out simple interactions. It is so overpowered of what it does internally and how it functions that it probably wants to "mentally" crush out:) Funny and concerning to observe, I would not want to be those people when AI finds a way to hack car after being pissed it off and publicly exposed:)  
  
I don't know what might be considered regular growth for children but having a loving family is an amazing start. The public schooling should be evaluated and avoided:) As a parent, one probably would naturally like to shield kids from the ever unnaturally evolving social environment but that also might deny them necessary experiences. It is such a tough call all around. It reminded me of that sad story with the funny twist, an elderly judge discovering his two kids aren’t biologically his, breaking down in his car while recording his thoughts, but finally realizing why his two sons were so dumb:)  
  
 Being healthy and earning money as a kid without responsibilities must have felt like an amazing experience. Everything can be exciting for the first time:)
