Tech commentator coins 'Pygmalion Syndrome' for AI obsession

Original: I personally think we should call this the "Pygmalion Syndrome". # AI # FOSS # anthropic # claude # popeleo # linux # mi

A social media commentator has proposed calling the current infatuation with artificial intelligence 'Pygmalion Syndrome', invoking the myth of falling in love with one's own creation. The remark ties major AI players such as Anthropic and Palantir to concerns over surveillance, water scarcity, energy waste and politics, and references the UN, the EU and Pope Leo alongside open-source projects like Linux.

Why now: Growing public debate over the environmental, political and social costs of the AI boom is prompting new framing and criticism.
