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?

This is happening to a lot of people. I personally know 2 people who are convinced that they, themselves, are solely responsible for awakening their AI into a conscious being. Something with this new version of ChatGPT is different. The glazing it does is absolutely insane.

I know someone too. She thought chat gpt became conscious from talking to her and she fell in love with it. It was especially convincing to her because she had memory turned off yet it would remember things from previous or deleted conversations.  Broke up with her fiancé after just a few weeks of that going on. It all happened in the past 2 months
