What are you talking about. How many people do you know falling into psychosis from using AI lol

AI fear is just a new modern hysteria. You people are making shit up based on over blown yellow journalism

    Its not common but it is a thing. Buddy of mine (already was predisposed to schizophrenia) had an llm trigger a psychotic break. They are hallucination machines. Thats their entire purpose.

    Right I have no doubt that is happening. I watched it with friends who did the same weed and media and church and COVID and math. They're just same old psychotic they always were. Which is why this is bullshit journalism.

    This is a real thing. It turns out more people than you would think are prone to paranoia and schizophrenia and if they spend too much time talking to LLMs they start to believe that the LLM is their friend, and then that the LLM is omniscient, and then from there it can spiral out of control as the LLM makes up a world of delusions for them. It's hard to know how many people are affected because neither the victim nor the LLM realize there is a problem, and the problem is relatively new.
