Authors' conclusion
“This case provides evidence that new-onset psychosis in the form of delusional thinking can emerge in the setting of immersive AI chatbot use. Although multiple pre-existing risk factors may be associated with psychosis proneness, the sycophancy of AI chatbots together with AI chatbot immersion and deification on the part of users may represent particular red flags for the emergence of AI-associated psychosis.”Quoted verbatim from the abstract.
