There’s no handbook or program for how to talk to a friend or family member who is falling into AI psychosis. So after many people contacted us clearly suffering from these delusions, we spoke to mental health experts. Here’s what they suggest: https://www.404media.co/ai-psychosis-help-gemini-chatgpt-claude-chatbot-delusions/

@josephcox I like how overdefined the hyperbolic equations and toroidal shapes are in the image, very on brand for AI hallucination.

@josephcox I don't know if, paraphrasing, "1 over 1000 people using a service that can significantly worsen their mental health have signs of mental health emergencies" is as low as OpenAI seems to think when communicating these numbers. 1 over 1000 is a _massively common_ illness.

@josephcox I've been wondering how many reported instances of AI psychosis involve open-weights/open-source vs. commercial/API-based chatbots. as Sam points out in her excellent story, the potential of chatbots to heighten surveillance paranoia seems like a very important mechanism. if you can't see inside the box that's talking to you, isn't it a bit easier to delude yourself about its power? do the Human Line stories offer any insights on this?
