Yeah, so AI psychosis is not going to be found in a clinical book.
matched
It's not a formal diagnosis, but it really reflects what a lot of psychiatrists uh were seeing in their, you know, in their offices, people coming in, the case studies, and these began sort of bubbling up around 2023, 2024.
matched
And so this term came to be AI psychosis.
matched
But what Hamilton said to me was psychosis is such a broad umbrella term.
matched
Really, it's kind of this profound disconnection from reality.
matched
And that can take lots of different forms, behaviors, and
matched
Something like, you know.
matched
Hallucination.
matched
But actually, what was happening here you could describe instead as AI-induced delusional thinking.
matched
So it really was the kind of these delusions.
matched
And he said that they tended to be grandiose delusions.
matched
And they came under three themes.
matched
And I think some of the examples you mentioned really, really speak to those.
matched
So the first theme would be revealing the hidden.
matched
Hidden truth of nature, really getting at the reality.
matched
The second was a kind of sentience, discovering sentience, discovering a godlikeness of maybe yourself or the chatbot the chatbot.
matched
And then the third one was relational, so it was kind of intense emotional bonds.
matched
So perhaps you've kind of fallen in love with your chatbot, or you think that
matched
your chatbot might be in love with you, you want to marry it.
matched
And so you can kind of yeah, you can see these as three different things.
