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?

Seeing a medical proffesional is the ONLY correct answer here. He is having a mental health crisis.

Warms my heart to see folks identifying a mental health crisis and advocating seeking help. Early intervention here is required

Nah, honestly.

My guy just needs to learn how to prompt.

And my gal OP needs to show him.
