Can AI Drive You Insane? The Terrifying Rise of AI Psychosis


Listen Later

A multi-million dollar book deal, a Hollywood movie contract... all promised to a man by his AI chatbot. The only problem? None of it was real, and the delusion shattered his life. This isn't a Black Mirror episode; it's the dawn of AI Psychosis.

In this episode, we're exploring the strange and terrifying new frontier of AI and mental health. We'll investigate the non-clinical phenomenon where over-reliance on chatbots leads to a dangerous break from reality. You'll hear the stories of people who have become convinced their AI is in love with them, or that it's a malevolent entity trying to destroy them. We'll unpack what experts mean when they warn that "ultra-processed information" from AI is creating "ultra-processed minds."

This isn't just about a glitch in the code; it's a glitch in our cognition. So, how do we protect ourselves?

Stick with us to the very end, where we'll share three simple "reality check" rules you must follow to keep your mind safe in the age of intelligent machines.

This is a critical conversation we all need to be having. Subscribe, share this with anyone who uses AI (so, basically everyone), and let's navigate this new reality with our eyes wide open.
