"The consequences can be dire. As we heard from spouses, friends, children, and parents looking on in alarm, instances of what's being called "ChatGPT psychosis" have led to the breakup of marriages and families, the loss of jobs, and slides into homelessness.
And that's not all.
As we've continued reporting, we've heard numerous troubling stories about people's loved ones being involuntarily committed to psychiatric care facilities " or even ending up in jail " after becoming fixated on the bot."
;; Weird.

This article was written by an A.I. bot. A.I. is writing conspiracies about itself, so it can portray itself as a victim of said conspiracies. If you can't see this, then you're obviously part of the conspiracy, or you've been fooled by others who have also been fooled by the conspiracy. If you see any funny flags on this post, that confirms the conspiracy is true. If you don't see any funny flags on this post, that confirms there is a conspiracy to fool you into believing the conspiracy is not true.
In your heart, you know it's true.

Is there a difference between Generative A.I. and our Dear Leader? I think our Dear Leader is better at it....
