https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chatbot_psychosis>In his editorial published in Schizophrenia Bulletin's November 2023 issue, Danish psychiatrist Søren Dinesen Østergaard proposed a hypothesis that individuals' use of generative artificial intelligence chatbots might trigger delusions in those prone to psychosis. Østergaard revisited it in an August 2025 editorial, noting that he has received numerous emails from chatbot users, their relatives, and journalists, most of which are anecdotal accounts of delusion linked to chatbot use. He also acknowledged the phenomenon's increasing popularity in public engagement and media coverage. Østergaard believed that there is a high possibility for his hypothesis to be true and called for empirical, systematic research on the matter. Nature reported that as of September 2025, there is still little scientific research into this phenomenon.What's the solution to AI psychosis? /g/ is especially afflicted by this.
Regulation for the use of the tool must be passed. The burden should fall on those hosting it for others.Anything less will be meaningless, and anything more would hinder competition while entrenching the current shitty corpo-AI providers.

>>107709529Why are normals too stupid to use a chatbot without going insane
>>107709827>normals too stupid to use a chatbot without going insaneThat's the entire target audience for LLMs. There is no other use case for it.
>>107709529I'm not actually convinced chatbots are making people insane who weren't already so. I remember the numbers I think it was openAI published showed a percentage of people who seemed to qualify for "AI psychosis" induced chat behavior that pretty much tracked the amount of people who are shizo in the general population. And if you have hundreds of millions of people using your product, there's bound to be a lot of people that have pyschosis simply by law of large numbers.
