I think we don't know how many people might be at risk of slipping into such mental health crises under the right circumstances. As a society, we are probably good at protecting most of our fellow human beings from this danger (even if we do so unconsciously). We may not yet know what happens when people regularly experience interactions that follow a different pattern (which might be the case with chatbots).
