Is that really so crazy? People who overcome addictive eating disorders still have to eat a little bit. LLMs are going to be pervasive in all aspects of human society so avoiding them will be much harder than avoiding alcohol.
Well eating is not optional, LLM use certainly is. If the risk is that you might jump into a psychosis and hurt yourself and others, it's probably not worth it.
Alcohol is not a necessity, just to be fair. In that sense alcoholism is not a simple eating disorder, it is a drug addiction.
From what I have seen, people who get through eating disorders describe it as having a healthier relationship with food.
Getting to that point requires doing substantial work.
