I Need Help Understanding How AI Psychosis Develops

Career / Education / Productivity

Long story short, I have something of a paper due coming up in July. For this paper, I would like to come to an understanding of the development process of AI psychosis; to such a degree that I could demonstrate its development over the course of interacting with an LLM such as Meta AI, ChatGPT, MyAI (snapchat's LLM), etc.

My particular interest is how it develops in people who otherwise-without interaction with AI-wouldn't have come to develop such symptoms. I understand that with as new as this phenomenon is that it's likely not the most richly studied topic, but anything that could be used to help me in this venture would be much appreciated.

If you have anecdotes about someone who you know that developed symptoms and you were able to notice it over a course of time, I'd like to hear the anecdote of what that process looked like if it's something you're comfortable with sharing. In fact, it would be a pure platinum mine.

If you're aware of academic studies regarding the topic, that would be a veritable gold mine of information as well. I'm open to pretty much any good source of information about AI psychosis and the study of its development.
