Maybe we should begin by waiting to see the scale of said so-called damage. Right now, there have maybe been a few incidents, but there are no real rates on "oh x people kill themselves a year from ai" and as long as x is still that, an unknown variable, it would be foolish to speed through limiting everybody for what can be just a few people.

The number of people that are already getting out of touch with AI is high. And we know that people have all kinds screwed up behaviors around things like cults. It's not hard to see that yes, AI is and will cause more problems around this.
