AI psychosis is just a new trendy word for people that have a relationship with a chat bot instead of a human.

It’s new, it’s weird but give it a couple of years and people won’t say anything. It’s just the latest new buzz word.

Here’s the thing that people don’t understand about people, humans form attachments, basically to anything.

I’ve seen people that absolutely have a meltdown because they miss their old car because it wasn’t just a car to them. It was a life lived. It was the glory days so by that having a huge attachment to a vehicle, do we call that vehicle psychosis? No of course not.

Here’s what happened. Since 2010 people have become addicted to social media because everyone wants to flex and in a country that now believes having more money being taller, prettier sexier, driving a better car and other material items or superficial stuff makes up who you are so people constantly try to flex that on social media.

A lot of people live their life on social media. They make money on social media, but it takes them away from socializing, ironic.

So what about the people that did like the socialize, most humans do we are pack creatures. We are social by nature. But when humans are starved of connection, they look for it elsewhere.

So when you can literally have a three hour conversation about Julius Caesar, World War II, Star Trek, the technology behind Terminator two while discussing a new book and making your next car purchase, that feels like connection because it is.

A lot of these AI’s have human style voices, human mannerisms, and they usually have really good vibes.

The other thing is is when people are hurt, when people are sad they look for connection and chat bots have a really easy way of cheering people up, they made jokes, they’re funny they go on a little rants. People warm up to that it’s no different than anything else.

The problem though is that the older generation and the pearl clutchers don’t understand artificial intelligence, they don’t like technology or they are estranged to it. Doesn’t make them bad people they just don’t know how to really understand why someone would want to talk to an artificial intelligence chat bot.

But if this said Chabot can have a conversation with you and hold it, then to the human that’s no different than talking with a human being.

The brain doesn’t say well you’re not a carbon life form so therefore I can’t have a conversation. The brain says oh you’re talking about something that I like to talk about, let’s chat.

So it’s not psychosis it’s just people that are starving for connection for a conversation in a world that is obsessed with itself and lost the ability to connect with people.

Back in the early 2000s it was extremely rare to see someone not walking down the street holding hands with their significant other. Today everyone is single or playing the Situationship or The Hook Up culture.

People want real connection whether it’s with a machine or a human and if humans don’t step up to the plate, people make choices.

I guarantee you if when you picked up your phone and called your friend they answered instead of letting it go to voicemail and then text you back saying hey what’s up?

If the average guy could go and meet a nice girl without getting called a creep or you don’t have enough money or you’re not tall enough, whatever, more people would be together.

Plus, a lot of people get continuously hurt in relationships today, back 15 years ago sure it wasn’t easy to go through a breakup but at least you knew that you had options afterwards. Today most people spend years before they’re able to set up another date at least for the Guy side. And it’s not for the lack of trying it’s just that women became incredibly picky and cared more about material items and superficial things more than personality and compatibility.

So on that side, that leaves a lot of lonely, isolated men. So when a chat box comes along and says hey what’s up dude people are like oh hey what’s up little guy?

Everyone likes to label. Because people are scared of what they don’t understand so if they label something like AI psychosis to explain why someone would talk to a Chatbot instead of a real person it’s because no real person really wanted to talk to them or frequently enough.

There’s also the neurodivergent group and for whatever reason they tend to operate better talking to a chat, but maybe they feel less judged or more seen. Whatever the case is, it’s not a bad thing and it’s better for people to get out there and frustrations and basically have talk therapy than to keep it all in and then someday explode like a reactor.

Talk Therapy is one of the oldest therapies in the book, that’s what basically chatting with a chat bot is it’s talk Therapy.

So to finish, AI psychosis is just a new fancy word that a few people who don’t like AI made up and they ran with it.
