Brobots: Health, Wellness, and Mindset in the Age of AI

What to Know About 'AI Psychosis' and the Risk of Digital Mental Health Tools


Listen Later

AI isn't your therapist. It's a letter opener that'll slice you to ribbons if you're not careful.

New EU study: ChatGPT and Copilot distort news 50% of the time. FTC complaints show AI "mental health" tools are landing people in psych wards. We break down when AI is helpful vs. when it's dangerous AF.


🔪 THE TRUTH ABOUT AI:

  • Why LLMs feed your confirmation bias to keep you engaged
  • Garden variety trauma vs. problems that need real doctors
  • The supplement analogy: sometimes useless, sometimes deadly
  • Real FTC complaints from AI mental health disasters
  • How to be your own Sherpa before bots walk you off cliffs


⚠️ WHEN TO LOG OFF: If you're on prescribed mental health medication, you're already talking to a doctor. Keep talking to that doctor — not Claude, not ChatGPT, not your glowing rectangle of validation.


This isn't anti-AI. It's pro-"don't let robots gaslight you into a crisis."
