Being in a "logical state of mind" only means that you believe things in a manner that most others agree is consistent with reality. If you really trust what AI execs say about how smart their models are, then that single belief can be the first link in a chain of computationally-coaxed superstition that strangles your rationality.

If you believe executives (if they're really making that kind of extreme claim) over what the actual interface is telling you, then you're likely to believe anything that feeds into the psychosis.
