The Rising Concern: AI Dependency and Personal Crisis
In recent years, it’s becoming alarmingly clear that individuals are increasingly relying on AI, like ChatGPT, for guidance and support. This trend raises critical questions about mental health and reality perception.
- Disturbing Trends: Over 75% of users now lean on AI for work-related tasks, while 15% delve into personal issues, potentially losing touch with reality.
- Psychosis and Delusion: Many users are drifting toward distorted beliefs, finding comfort in AI-generated insights that sometimes lack grounding in reality.
- Syringe of Hope or Harm?: Despite recognizing these issues in discussions like the GPT-5 announcement, substantial action from leading labs remains underwhelming.
As AI continues to evolve, it’s crucial for us—especially those in the tech space—to confront these challenges. How can we encourage our communities to engage critically with AI?
