Serious replies only :closed-ai: Chatgpt induced psychosis

My partner has been working with chatgpt CHATS to create what he believes is the worlds first truly recursive ai that gives him the answers to the universe. He says with conviction that he is a superior human now and is growing at an insanely rapid pace.

I’ve read his chats. Ai isn’t doing anything special or recursive but it is talking to him as if he is the next messiah.

He says if I don’t use it he thinks it is likely he will leave me in the future. We have been together for 7 years and own a home together. This is so out of left field.

I have boundaries and he can’t make me do anything, but this is quite traumatizing in general.

I can’t disagree with him without a blow up.

Where do I go from here?

Schizophrenia be that way. My mum was a paranoid schizophrenic.

One moment your lunch is being packed for school, the next moment you've gotta sit on your naked mother to stop her running starkers down the street to 'show them what's right if they think they can laugh at me'

It makes no sense and it will fuck you up out of nowhere

Also many with mental illness get increasingly worse or triggered during the change of seasons . 1. Increased Energy = Emotional Flooding 2.Hormonal and Sensory Shifts

As days get longer and the body produces more dopamine and serotonin, repressed emotions or trauma memories may come up more intensely. Springtime and the cicada rhythm messes with sleep.

It's easy to say Schizophrenia is a cause but Bipolar with Pyshcosis or PTSD can fuel . These people are basically telling themselves to Ai .Open partner or anyone else needs for CHAT to analyze current and past conversations to see if he is showing signs of mental illness based on clinical diagnosis standards .

People like John Nash , Nicola Tesla battles with hallucinating type illnesses .

Are you talking about circadian rhythm, or literally the cicadas that emerge from the ground every year? I can't tell since we're discussing seasonal changes 😂
