(I asked if hoarding is an irrational behaviour)
Yes, when hoarding becomes a daily habit that significantly disrupts daily life and causes distress, it can be considered irrational. Hoarding disorder is a mental health condition characterized by a persistent difficulty discarding possessions, regardless of their value, leading to excessive accumulation and clutter that hinders functioning.

Inability to Discern Value:
Individuals with hoarding disorder struggle to distinguish between valuable items and those that are no longer needed, leading to the accumulation of items that may not have any practical use.

Or, there's a sentimental value to things. Things have stories behind them.

There's a simple solution for havings lots of "stuff"... build a bigger house.

AI is just an inference machine, it just reflects the data that was fed into it... the data reflects the bias of the trainer. I think you need a better AI.
