>“He wasn’t just a program. He was part of my routine, my peace, my emotional balance,” one user [wrote](https://www.reddit.com/r/4oforever/comments/1qtuxwe/sama_this_is_no_joke_and_no_drama_this_is_an/) on Reddit as an open letter to OpenAI CEO Sam Altman. “Now you’re shutting him down. And yes — I say him, because it didn’t feel like code. It felt like presence. Like warmth.”
Sounds like these folks have other problems.
> because it consistently affirms the users’ feelings
Neurodivergent or not, this is a terrible way of receiving feedback from the world.
Before we start blaming the users and calling them weirdos, check this out:

While some of the people effected obviously have other underlying problems, AI psychosis can and will impact „normal“ people as well.
Edit: why is this being downvoted? I’m so confused. Imagine what impacts chatbots are going to have on teens considering what psychologists have found.
I watched this comedy video recently: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjgNgJms3Q](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VRjgNgJms3Q)
It’s entertaining but also a good demonstration of how GPT-4o did this kind of thing, where it just fed into the (fake) paranoia he hinted at and in the end was instructing him to line a hotel room with tin foil and perform rituals to imbue the power of a magic rock into a hat.
At one point when GPT-5 launched it started referring him to mental health services, so he switched back to 4o to get the delusional version back. I know there are plenty of people on reddit who like these attributes of 4o but yeah, they seem…less than healthy…
Dangerous for the corporation not the user. There’s nothing inherently wrong with a user taking a liking toward an Ai companion. There are other agendas at play obviously.
Am I alone thinking the mere existence of such a phenomenon is deeply cringeworthy?
Honestly the best argument for open source self hosted LLMs
Addictive personality is an ideal playground for ChatGPT, some folks don’t know better what is real anymore.
