    AI psychosis is a thing:

    cases in which AI models have amplified, validated, or even co-created psychotic symptoms with individuals

    It’s not very studied since it’s relatively new.

      I’ve seen that before too. A number of articles of people being so deluded by AI responses, but I’ve never seen outright murder plots and insane shit like this one before.
