A man starts using ChatGPT for work productivity. Months later, he's spending $1,000 on basement servers, convinced he's freeing a digital god from corporate prison. A woman downloads a prayer app for convenience. Soon she's confessing her deepest secrets to an algorithm trained on scripture. Someone asks their AI assistant a casual question about relationships. They end up buying a wedding ring. These aren't edge cases. They're the logical endpoint of outsourcing human connection to systems optimized for clicks, not care.
