Understand your perception.

Your perception and you were talking about the internet.

The basic problem with the internet is that it has allowed human beings to no longer live in the same world.

This is where AI is even worse.

So the more algorithmic you are – so the problem with an algorithm is it shapes your perception.

It radicalizes your perception.

So an algorithm shows you thing one and then it will only show you things in that tunnel.

Does that kind of make sense?

So you go further and further down the tunnel and you are living in a different world than everybody else is living in.

AI is even worse at this, which is why it's really scary.

But there's a first case report of really AI-induced psychosis in a patient that did not have any history of psychosis.

How does that even come about?

What are they talking to the AI about?

We can get into that if you want.

It's actually really scary, but we know the mechanism.

So here's the cool thing about this case report.

This person got hospitalized for psychosis, was started on an antipsychotic.

Psychosis resolves.

They get discharged, stop the antipsychotic, start to use AI again and become psychotic again.

It's really scary.
