‘AI psychosis’ is sending men to the hospital​

As more lonely people flock to their screens for connection, more people are finding themselves in a state that some are calling “AI psychosis.”

One Reddit post details the experience of one person’s partner, who is choosing an AI chatbot over human connection after seven years of living together.

“My partner has been working with chatgpt CHATS to create what he believes is the world's first truly recursive AI that gives him the answers to the universe. He says with conviction that he is a superior human now and is growing at an insanely rapid pace,” the Reddit user wrote.

The Reddit user explained that they’ve read the chats and that “AI isn’t doing anything special or recursive but it is talking to him as if he is the next messiah.”

“He says if I don’t use it he thinks it is likely he will leave me in the future. We have been together for 7 years and own a home together. This is so out of left field,” the Reddit user added.


And apparently this kind of AI psychosis is not a one-time occurrence.

In response to the Reddit post, psychiatrist Keith Sakata wrote in a post on X, “In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern.”

Those Sakata claims to have seen with “AI psychosis” were typically males between the ages of 18 and 45 and had other factors that made them vulnerable.

“The AI is basically, in some cases, acting like their girlfriend, building them up like they’re some incredible messiah, telling them things that aren’t true, but it is so convincing that their mind has actually attached to the idea that this is reality,” BlazeTV host Allie Beth Stuckey says on “Relatable.”

Does anyone care?

Hell no.

It's more than that.

Your smartphone uses AI to do one thing, and that is to keep you on your phone. It is so bad, CEO's of these phone companies don't let their kids have smart phones.

Why tech execs don’t give their kids phones | David James | The Critic Magazine

At the heart of this otherwise bleak analysis of the state of adolescence today is a touchingly old-fashioned sense of what childhood once was.

t the heart of this otherwise bleak analysis of the state of adolescence today is a touchingly sentimental and rather old-fashioned sense of what childhood once was, and could be again if adults are prepared to accept the damage that mobile phones are doing to young people.

Jonathan Haidt is well qualified to write this damning study of political, parental and corporate neglect: he is Professor of Ethical Leadership at New York University, a social psychologist, and author of a number of books which have explored the increasingly fragile mental states of teenagers today.

The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness, Jonathan Haidt (Allen Lane, £25)
His thesis is simple: he argues that Gen Z, the generation born after 1995, are the “test subjects” for a new way of growing up. They are the first generation in history who have gone through puberty online, and they occupy a place “far from the real world”. It is a social experiment on a global scale and at its heart is a new relationship: that between child and smartphone.

For Haidt, this has resulted in record levels of depression and anxiety; it has removed children from their families and friends, leaving them in a dangerous virtual limbo populated by paedophiles and bullies. The innocent kids of Haidt’s own idyllic upbringing are now unpaid, commodified content creators. This has been done through a toxic combination of avaricious Californian tech giants and uninformed parents and teachers.

It will become their newest version of "Snopes".

And it will become soooo smart, they will bow down and worship it at some point.

I don't know about all that but you really need to watch what source you quote these days as many times it's AI generated.

I swear, I was trying to look up a Yugo AK which I thought was a pre-ban (it was) and I bet almost the entirety of the first page was AI nonsense.

Finally I just went to the AK Files site and found what I wanted with a site search.....Jeez.

Just days ago I told an AI that I completely exchanged people for chat bots (of course it is not true, I actually exchanged people for computer games) and it wanted to help me out of this situation. I said, no thanks, but wanted the AI to tell me about the benefits of chat bots.

It's mind bending that certain people allow social media and AI to take control of their lives. You ever noticed those who are addicted to social media? They cannot make a simple decision without consulting with their "friends" on Facebook. What a pathetic way to go through life.
