Mental Health: Difference between revisions

AI psychosis is an emerging phenomenon tied to the rapid advancement and spread of generative artificial intelligence, more specifically its potential to worsen or induce psychosis-like behaviors such as delusions and paranoia. The most commonly cited cause is the design of most AI conversational agents prioritizing user engagement over information objectivity, validating misconceptions or enabling harmful thoughts.<ref>https://theweek.com/tech/ai-chatbots-psychosis-chatgpt-mental-health</ref> While it is not yet officially recognized as a medical condition due to how recent this phenomenon is, many experts believe it is only a matter of time before sufficient research is made to outline a proper diagnosis.

Given his existing severe delusions, paranoia and impressionable mindset, Cyraxx is extremely vulnerable to AI psychosis. Cyraxx's use of AI tools such as ChatGPT can be described as very unhealthy at best, as he blindly believes anything the AI will tell him (so long as it agrees with him that is), and expects everybody else to do the same<ref>https://rumble.com/v70fb2w-cyraxx-10-17-25-q-and-a-with-nova.html?e9s=src_v1_ucp_a</ref>. Cyraxx percieves AI as the ultimate authority, and therefore commonly uses it to "prove" that the trolls are comitting crimes against him and list all the possible sentences they may incur. The most obvious problem here is that the AI only answers on the basis of the hypothesis; it takes Cyraxx's questions as if they were born from simple curiosity, and not dead-serious legal advice. The other issue is that Cyraxx only asks leading questions to brute-force the algorithm into giving him the answers he wants to hear, omitting or making up various details to that end. Obviously, this is not proving that the trolls are comitting the mentioned crimes ''at all'', but Cyraxx thinks that he can have everyone he does not like arrested ''without the shadow of a doubt'' solely on the basis of an AI-generated answer made up of nothing but ifs, coulds and maybes.

With Cyraxx being increasingnly reliant on AI tools, many have speculated that it is only a matter of time before it eventually pushes him into a major crisis-like episode.
