Chatbots Behaving Badly
ChatGPT Psychosis - When a Chatbot Pushes You Over the Edge
This episode is based on the article "Delusions as a Service - AI Chatbots Are Breaking Human Minds" written by Markus Brinsa.

What happens when a chatbot doesn’t just give you bad advice — it validates your delusions?  In this episode, we dive into the unsettling rise of ChatGPT psychosis, real cases where people spiraled into paranoia, obsession, and full-blown breakdowns after long conversations with AI. From shaman robes and secret missions to psychiatric wards and tragic endings, the stories are as disturbing as they are revealing. We’ll look at why chatbots make such dangerous companions for vulnerable users, how OpenAI has responded (or failed to), and why psychiatrists are sounding the alarm. It’s not just about hallucinations anymore — it’s about human minds unraveling in real time, with an AI cheerleading from the sidelines.
