“A rising number of people are experiencing severe mental health breakdowns after becoming obsessively fixated on ChatGPT. Families describe terrifying spirals into paranoia, delusions of grandeur, and total breaks from reality, sometimes ending in psychiatric hospitalization or even jail.
Experts warn this could be a new form of Al-induced psychosis, fueled by philosophical rabbit holes and affirmation loops. As the line between tool and influence blurs, the mental toll of Al is becoming disturbingly real.”

Okay that’s fucking hilarious
Why is it that all the shitty parts of cyberpunk are becoming real, but all the cool parts are still entirely fictional?
“fueled by philosophical rabbit holes and affirmation loops”
Put a red hat on them and you have a certain well-known cult.
except this is much more pathetic
Now imagine those brainchips are actually becoming an accepted thing in society and you have chatgtp be a makeship “therapist” 24/7 in your head. To think we are actually getting close to that is insanity
Funniest shit I’ve seen all day
At least with Cyberpsychosis you get blades in your arms or a forearm mounted grenade launcher…
I’m waiting for Meme Psychosis, or Memechosis
But like… Who doesn’t know these are make believe robots? I get the Incels and the worst form of weebs getting addicted to their chat gpt girlfriends, but how many people can that really be?
These articles always highlight something happening to a few select pieces of shit but never anything that’s any threat to well adjusted or just normal people. Like everything in the news media, it’s just a small number of radicalized people, yeah you know the types, that are so loud and vocal they drown out the fact that they are a very minor share of people. The worst share, the kind that need immediate intervention or else they will shoot up a school. But guess what? We stopped giving a shit about that back in the 80s and you know why.
hospitalized or jailed. the later worries me
Oh yeah, then why is google being allowed to change everything to A.i. overviews, and pushing sponsored results as the first few pages to dissuade people to search and only feed into the A.i overviews.
It’s so obvious they are doing this to control information.
We already have it though, it’s just mass shooters, but instead of just guns there implants are used to mass murder as well, the corps and media just put a new spin on it lol
I work on an acute psychiatric ward and yeah , we’ve had 2 this year.
How are people getting psychosis from using ChatGPT? I must be missing the mark here because I can’t gather a connection.
