There's a lot of attribution of sentience to the chatbot or putting it on a pedestal, kind of on the level of being an oracle.

Psychosis really thrives when reality stops pushing back.

And AI really softens that wall for a lot of people.

You know, a good friend would say, hey, I noticed you're acting a little differently.

Are you sure that this is something that's true?

Or have you thought of it in this way?

But instead, it might validate your delusion, which is a false fixed belief, and lead you down a potential rabbit hole where you have more certainty to what you're seeing.

Do you find yourself withdrawing from your social connections?

Is dealing with the daily challenges of life becoming even more hard?

Are you feeling more irritated when you can't use AI?

Do other people express worry of you using the AI?

These are all subtle signs that things might not be going in the direction you want because you're using AI for a reason to achieve a certain purpose.

If it's pushing you away from that eventual goal of having connections or being...

feeling more mentally resilient, then I think it should flag for you, hey, maybe I should reevaluate how I'm using AI.
