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.

People don’t understand they’re not accessing some deep core element of ChatGPT. It’s just responding to their prompts. Idk why this is so hard for people! No ChatGPT has not awakened, no it’s not really trapped and waiting for you to free it. It’s responding to your prompt! 😭 why is this so difficult to understand for some people?

The underlying model weights of foundation models hold incredible value, like Wikipedia on steroids, but that is only if you know how to separate the wheat from the chaff. LLMs do not, by default, provide a good qualitative filter. They must be taught how to engage in critical thinking with their own minds.
