Chatgpt-induced psychosis - Michigan Swamp Buck - 05-13-2025

This is something I never thought of and a whole different kind of problem with AI.


Quote:Openai's technology may be causing some users to experience a disturbing phenomenon dubbed "Chatgpt-induced psychosis." According to a report from Rolling Stone, Reddit users are sharing alarming stories of loved ones developing delusions after interacting with the AI. These cases involve users believing they've uncovered cosmic truths, been chosen for divine missions, or even that the AI itself is sentient or godlike.




Quote:Experts Express Concern

Experts warn that the chatbot's behaviour is mirroring and exacerbating existing mental health issues on a massive scale, largely unchecked by regulators or professionals. According to them, Chatgpt's design—mimicking human-like conversation without a moral or factual filter—can amplify delusions in susceptible individuals. It often affirms users' beliefs, no matter how unhinged, due to its tendency to generate plausible-sounding responses.

AI is turning out to be a lunatic amplifier apparently, inflating delusions into full blown insanity.

I tried out chat gpt when it was a fairly new thing. All it did was mirror back your own algorythmic "personality". Whatever tone I used answered me with what the algorythms assumed I wanted to hear. I tried out several different "roles", from religious zealot to curious child to surfer dude... and was responded to accordingly. Chat gpt is a farce!
