Basically becoming delusional or paranoid after prolonged use of A.I.
Common patterns include believing the AI is sentient or godlike, developing romantic attachment to it, or becoming convinced it...
This is exactly right. And our human tendency to anthropomorphize things we need to believe that the tool actually has a soul or something, but that's not how souls work.
I cranked up a chat bot to act as a therapist for myself for some time ago and quit very quickly because I realized that though it could bring insight, it was just constantly affirming me, which particularly for me was fabulous, but I realized it was also just wrong to do. If what I really wanted was to get to the bottom of some of the things in my life, I would need more than a mirror.
Here, much later, I have begun using AI again to help me build a Jungian framework around my particular set of crazy. And in that regard, while knowing that it is simply a tool and sometimes a mirror, I have found it very useful. It's definitely not human though.
