If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

"Having become skeptical, we can now take the next step and become paranoid."
A line that (unfortunately) speaks to me, from @rhenderson.bsky.social & @elinm.bsky.social's recent book on dogwhistles — in particular, the section on sociolinguistic hypervigilance.
