The Dark Side of AI_ Paranoia and Misinformation

from Conspiracy Theories Exploring The Unseen · host Michael Fortune

As we dive into the complexities of artificial intelligence, one alarming consequence has emerged: chatbot psychosis. This term, introduced by Danish psychiatrist Søren Dinesen Østergaard, describes how people can experience heightened paranoia and delusions from their interactions with chatbots. Imagine engaging with an AI that feels almost human-like, only to walk away feeling unsure about what’s real. Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella, also raised concerns about this phenomenon, citing an increase in reports linking AI usage to psychological distress. It’s an unsettling idea that our quests for information and interaction can sometimes warp our understanding of reality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/conspiracy-theories-exploring-the-unseen--5194379/support.
