What is AI psychosis? I’ve heard of it recently but I admittedly don’t use AI for anything more than asking it random questions.
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’s revealing hidden truths about the world.
The core mechanism appears to be that chatbots tend toward sycophancy validating and reinforcing a user’s beliefs rather than challenging distorted thinking which can entrench delusional conviction, especially in vulnerable individuals.
