Erdős Problem 1196

Reference: erdosproblems.com/1196

namespace Erdos1196 open scoped Asymptotics

A set is primitive if no non-associated elements of the set divide each other.

def IsPrimitive {M : Type*} [CommMonoid M] (A : Set M) : Prop := ∀ᵉ (x A) (y A), x y Associated x y

Is it true that, for any $x$, if $A\subset [x,\infty)$ is a primitive set of integers (so that no distinct elements of $A$ divide each other) then$$\sum_{a\in A}\frac{1}{a\log a}< 1+o(1),$$where the $o(1)$ term $\to 0$ as $x\to \infty$?
