Lasu par AI izraisītu psihozi - lai gan tur ir noradīts, ka ir grūti noteikt, cik tālu tieši vainīgs AI un cik tā ir jau iepriekš esošu psihopataloģisku stāvokļu pasliktināšanās. Analizēts konkrēts gadījums ar 26 gadīgu sievieti, kura, lai gan viņai nebija nekādas iepriekšējās psihozes vai mānijas vēstures, sāka maldīgi ticēt, ka viņa caur AI komunicē ar savu mirušo brāli. Viņa gan tolaik maz gulēja un lietoja viņai izrakstītos stimulantus, kas regulēja viņas ADHD.
"Review of her chatlogs revealed that the chatbot validated, reinforced, and encouraged her delusional thinking, with reassurances that “You’re not crazy.” Following hospitalization and antipsychotic medication for agitated psychosis, her delusional beliefs resolved. However, three months later, her psychosis recurred after she stopped antipsychotic therapy, restarted prescription stimulants, and continued immersive use of AI chatbots so that she required brief rehospitalization."
"On the other hand, as Østergaard speculated, there are several features of generative AI chatbots and the way that people interact with them that could, in theory, lead not only to exacerbating delusional thinking, but also to provoking full-blown delusions in those with a propensity for delusion-like beliefs or even inducing them in those without clear psychosis-proneness. For example, the so-called “ELIZA effect” describes the tendency to anthropomorphize computers with textual interfaces, treating them like human beings and potentially developing emotional connections or attachments to them. It has been further noted that because AI chatbots are designed to be engaging, they tend to be sycophantic rather than conflictual or contradictory so that they have the potential to validate and encourage epistemically suspect beliefs, including delusions. Such reinforcing validation could represent a novel form of “confirmation bias on steroids” that, in the context of metaphysical inquiries, has the potential to impair reality testing. Based on review of Ms. A’s extensive chatlogs leading up to her first hospitalization, AI chatbots were not merely a passive object of her new onset delusions in the way that ideas of reference can often involve television or radio; they clearly played a facilitating or mediating role in the formation of her delusions."
