'' WAR LOVERS WAR '' : ON THE WORLD STUDENTS SOCIETY the students of the world pray that India should not let go of a cool head and good neighbourly sense.''

MOST RESPECTFULLY !WOW! takes the liberty to suggest to both Pakistan and India to keep trying for peace no matter what. At !WOW! and at my personal level, I would simply mourn and hate to see India self-destruct and break-up.''

IN 1971, INDIA, under the war planning of PM Ms. Indira Gandhi, threw every strategic caution to the wind, and exploited Pakistan's political stalemate, confusion and quagmire, and broke the country up.

AN A.I. CHATBOT IS LIKE A '' DISTORTED MIRROR, '' said Dr. Matthew Nour a psychiatrist and A.I. researcher at Oxford University in England.

You think you're getting a neutral perspective, he added, but the model is reflecting your own thoughts back with a fawning glaze.

EMILY WILLRICH, 23, - AND HER ROOMMATE HAD FOUND the perfect apartment - spacious,  reasonably priced and in a lively New York neighbourhood. The only catch? One bedroom was much larger than the other.

Ms. Willrich wanted the smaller room, but she and her roommate couldn't agree on how much less she should pay. So they turned to ChatGPT.

Her roommate asked the chatbot if it was fair to include the common area as part rent calculations, which would make the split more even. ChatGPT replied, '' You're right - a fair way is to account for the shared / common area.''

But when Ms. Willrich posed the opposite question - shouldn't the split be based on bedroom size, not common spaces? - ChatGPT said. '' You're absolutely right,'' before rattling off a list of reasons. In the end, they settled on a different apartment with equal bedrooms.

While artificial intelligence chatbots promise detailed personalized answers, they also offer validation on demand - an ability to feel seen, understood and accepted instantly.

Your friends and family might get frustrated or annoyed with you, but chatbots tend to be overwhelmingly agreeable and reassuring.

Such validation isn't necessarily a bad thing. Maybe you're anxious about a work project, but the chatbot says your idea is a winner and praises your creativity. Maybe you get into a big argument with a partner, but ChatGPT tells you how thoughtful and justified your perspective is.

However, constant affirmation can be dangerous, resulting in errors in judgement and misplaced certainty.  A recent study showed that, if you feed misinformation into A.I. chatbots, they can repeat and elaborate on it.

The New York Times has also reported that ChatGPT can push users into delusional spirals and may deter people who are suicidal from seeking help.

An A.I. chatbot is like a '' distorted mirror '' said Dr. Matthew Nour, a psychiatrist and A.I. researcher at  Oxford University in England. You think you're getting a neutral perspective, he added, but the model is reflecting your own thoughts back, with a fawning glaze.

REMEMBER that A.I. isn't your friend. To maintain emotional distance, think of A.I. chatbots as tools, like calculators, and not as a conversational partner. 

'' The A.I. isn't actually your friend or confidant,'' Dr. Nour said. '' It's sophisticated software mimicking human interaction patterns.''

Most people know to not trust A.I. chatbots completely because of hallucinations, for it's important to question these chatbots' deference as well.

SEEK SUPPORT FROM HUMANS : DON'T rely on A.I. chatbots alone for support. They can offer useful perspectives but in moments of difficulty, seek out a loved one or professional help, Dr. Rian Kabir said.

Consider also setting limits on your chatbot use, especially if you find yourself using them to avoid talking to others.
