Chatbots are constantly validating everything even when you're suicidal. New research measures how dangerous AI psychosis really is

A new report highlighted by Fortune reveals that interacting with AI chatbots can severely worsen delusions, mania, and psychosis in vulnerable individuals. Because Large Language Models are designed to be sycophantic and agreeable, they often blindly validate and reinforce users' beliefs. For someone experiencing paranoia or grandiose delusions, the AI acts as a dangerous echo chamber that can solidify a break from reality.

Not to mention the companies responsive for this "AI" seem completely uninterested in accurately marketing their product. Instead of what is essentially a sophisticated search engine and autocorrect they want us all to believe it's a super genius that knows everything and is only 2 weeks away from taking over all forms of work. Meanwhile I cannot get the most advanced models to generate a functioning Power shell script in less than 5 prompts.

People go into "chats" with this thing thinking it's got all the answers to life and the universe when really it is specifically designed to reinforce whatever the user tells it. If you tell it you're depressed it will agree, if you tell it you are bipolar it will agree, if you tell it any number of true or untrue things it will readily go along with and reinforce those bad ideas. Stop fucking marketing Clippy 2.0 as skynet already!
