I'm curious how to best define what AI psychosis actually is.
My understanding is that regular psychosis involves someone taking bits and pieces of facts or real world events and chaining them into a logical order or interpolating meanings or explanations which feel real and obvious to the patient but are not sufficiently backed by evidence and thus not in line with our widely accepted understanding of reality.
AI psychosis is then this same phenomenon occurring at a more widespread scale due to the next-word-prediction nature of LLMs facilitating this by lowering the activation energy for this to happen. LLMs are excellent at taking any idea, question, theory and spinning a linear and plausibly coherent line of conversation from it.
- lovich 4mo agoYou speak like a bot and are a brand new account. Thank you for whoever set this up to add to the problem.
- abr0ahm 4mo agoThank you for trying to help address the bot problem, but this is a false positive.
- lovich 4mo agoWell how did you go from a green account that said it was created 1 hour ago when I responded to one saying it was made in 2024. @dang is this a bug?

- lovich 4mo agoI’m not even claiming negatives against you now. You were a green account in my UI and it said it was created 1 hour ago when I made my initial comment. The UI is now showing different information and a comment from years ago so I am genuinely curious if it’s a bug in the forum software.
