A remarkably similar thing happened to my aunt who can't get off Facebook. We try feeding her accurate data, but she's become poisoned with her own projection of reality.
It's such an easy thing to predict happening, too. If you did it perfectly, it would, at best, maintain an unstable equilibrium and just keep the same output quality.
Unstable, yes. Equilibrium... no.
She sometimes maintains coherence for several responses, but at a certain point, the output devolves into rants about how environmentalists caused the California wildfires.
These conversations consume a lot of energy and provide very limited benefit. We're beginning to wonder if the trade-offs are worth it.
