Some people just live to be paranoid about everything.
I will point one concern out. There's something unique that's usually not considered when it comes to this. With AI, as a user, you can customize and design the simulated behavior, personality, etc.
Which has the potential to become an even more warped kind of insular bubble for individuals than agreeable-like-minded online groups and communities have sometimes become.
A bit, although I think a person has to have a serious propensity and vulnerability to that kind of thing.
Based on one example of someone else I've observed, it takes a lot of excessive and obsessive AI-use for such a person to slip into it, and it's fairly fast and easy for them to recover from. Just requires a small wake-up call to shake them out if it.
For people with certain kinds of serious mental issues though it could be more of a trapdoor situation. But it's not seriously worth doompilling about. And it's not something that's so dire that I'd even consider advocating for nanny-state solutions either.
20 years?
How much damage has it already done in ~2 years?
You're right, but some people are in denial about the ability of AI to replace human relationships and need a longer timeline to envision it happening

I think this echo-chamber-like insular bubble is exactly how AI-induced psychosis happens
