there's been a bunch written about how LLMs' agreeableness poses dangers for the emotionally vulnerable. Are there any studies on how their agreeableness causes people who use them a lot to treat actual humans as though they expect the same degree of agreement and submissiveness?

I buy this argument and you all know I'm very critical about studies about the effect of using AI but this one makes a ton of sense. The design of total ease and agreeableness has always been bad for our rigorous thinking. It is bad when it comes from people too!
