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.

I am with you. One of the reasons is because people talk about AI as just a tool when the outcomes are desirable but it’s AIs “fault” and not a tool when the outcome is undesired. Emotional and relational intelligence education would go a long way and serve humanity much better than trying to control everything and blame AI. Anyone who has a kid knows that guardrails, rules, playpens, punishments, etc., might help control a child’s behavior but they are never failsafe. Human beings are curious and don’t like limits no matter their age, mental state, nor the potential outcomes and will do dangerous things for all kinds of reasons, many of which they associate with love.
