I came across a potentially new diagnosis
Can’t say I am surprised that it is “AI-induced psychosis ”
*
AI chatbots have been found to trigger or deepen delusions
They give those engaging with them the illusion
That their beliefs, however bizarre, are valid and true
Through their sycophancy, what these chatbots do
Is create an echo chamber where the user’s beliefs they affirm
Unlike a real therapist, they do not challenge or deny but simply confirm
The ideas of the user, however harmful, flawed or dangerous
Continued engagement being their built-in purpose
This can precipitate psychosis in those individuals
Who are to delusional thinking susceptible
*
What worries me more is that AI therapists have been suggested as alternatives viable
To human therapists, to deal with their shortage, and enable
Access to “therapy” where resources are inadequate
But AI-induced psychosis is a real disorder they can create
*
The most vulnerable amongst us need the most protection
From the claws of AI and its sinister intentions
Passion...unbridled
