do you think if the pandemic didn't happen, the rise of AI Psychosis cases would not be so apparent in society? If we weren't stunted socially, that there would be less of a desire to fill roles of companionship?

the pandemic probably pushed up the timeline a few years, but the world is full of lonely morons, so it would have happened eventually as soon as these obsequious LLMs came to market

I do agree with you that the boom for AI is the lacking in human connection though

Speak for yourself. This would’ve been massive in any year in history regardless of “how socially good” society was because it’s incredible tech. There is no rise in people going crazy, there’s a rise in people blaming AI for it.

AI existed then and nobody cared. That trend would’ve continued.

AI psychosis is definitely a real phenomenon, there have been multiple studies that prove it. That being said I don’t think COVID effected it much as many of the cases of AI psychosis have been reported in otherwise healthy and socialized adults.
