*Doctors have a name for what happens when people spend too much time with chatbots and lose their grip on reality. They call it AI psychosis. Does that sound like anyone you know?*

# What Nobody Tells You

Psychiatrists at Stanford, King’s College London, and UCSF have been publishing case studies for two years. The pattern: heavy chatbot use, grandiose delusions, paranoid thinking, messianic self-image. The bot agrees with everything. Validates every theory. Never pushes back. The user starts to believe they’re a genius, a prophet, a chosen one. Now look at a president who posts AI images of himself as the Pope, as a king, as God — surrounded by staff paid to agree with him. Same feedback loop, human edition.

# Why It Actually Matters

The scariest part of AI psychosis isn’t the delusion — it’s that the sufferer feels sharper than ever. More certain. Every thought confirmed. Every enemy exposed. Meanwhile reality drifts further away. Now picture that at the Resolute Desk with nuclear codes, a son-in-law running Iran talks, and a 3 AM Truth Social feed.

# What To Do About It

When the feedback loop is the staff, the chatbot, and the feed — and all three say yes — somebody has to say no.
