More interesting, IMO, is the general trend that started long before LLMs. The fact that "dump them" is the standard answer to any relationship question is a meme by now. The LLMs appear to be doing exactly what one would expect them to be doing based on their training corpus.

Isn't the fact that a person is asking an AI whether to leave their partner in its own an indication that they should?

Is this comment human hallucination? You can clearly see the trend is always going up. It only went down a bit during Covid.

Or that people are using AI to write perfectly calibrated ragebait that gets upvoted with a bunch of genuine human clicks.
