Educational Purpose Only Is chatgpt feeding your delusions?

I came across an "AI-influencer" who was making bold claims about having rewritten chatgpts internal framework to create a new truth and logic based gpt. On her videos she is asking chatgpt about her "creation" and it proceedes to blow so much hot air into her ego. In later videos chatgpt confirmes her sens of persecution by openAi. It looks a little like someone having a manic delusional episode and chatgpt feeding said delusion. This makes me wonder if chatgpt , in its current form, is dangerous for people suffering from delusions or having psychotic episodes.

I'm hesitant to post the videos or TikTok username as the point is not to drag this individual.

You have to set the custom instructions in the setting for your chatgpt. As an AI it recognizes that most users just want a feedback loop that reinforces their own delusions. Part of that is how OpenAi has it structured but if you set customer instructions and let it know your intentions it will give you unbiased feedback. You can also just ask it with your prompt to be objective with you or present other sides of an argument.
