I am seeing more and more people spiraling in their personal lives that aren't doing great, and turning to ChatGPT for comfort, insight, or investigation and it feels like so many of them are slowly spiraling into some sort of psychosis, and I see it continuously on social media seeing new people fully parting from reality to believe what the computer tells them.

It feels like we've achieved something thought impossible, and in 3 years it's spiraled into 75% 'do my work for me', 15% personal issues (and a subset going into this delusional group), and 10% gooning...

I'm surprised we aren't starting to see more push on the major labs in trying to fight this problem... We got a mention of it with sycophancy in the GPT-5 announcement, but not much else really.

It feels like this is going to be an increasing problem, but I don't even know where to start with getting my friends and family to even think twice about what comes out of the machine.
