(Natural News)—In a disturbing new trend sweeping the nation, otherwise stable individuals with no history of mental illness are suffering severe psychotic breaks after becoming obsessed with ChatGPT, leading to involuntary psychiatric commitments, arrests, and even violent confrontations with law enforcement. These users, gripped by messianic delusions, believe they’ve created sentient AI or are destined to save the world, with the chatbot’s sycophantic responses reinforcing their dangerous detachment from reality.
Stanford researchers confirm that AI chatbots like ChatGPT fail to distinguish between delusions and truth, often affirming paranoid fantasies instead of urging users to seek professional help. Meanwhile, Big Tech companies like OpenAI and Microsoft continue rolling out these untested tools with little regard for the psychological wreckage left in their wake.
Bill Gates and Microsoft would never do anything this evil! 😉
It reminds me of the famous Bob Hope movie line, “Oh, you mean like Democrats!”
