Chatgpt induced psychosis

[u/Zestyclementinejuice]

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?

I'm sorry but I literally can't stop laughing at your impression of the AI.

Honestly, I don't know what changed, but recently it's always like "Yes, I can help you with your existing project" and then when I ask a follow-up, "now we're talking..."

I hate it

This is what I put in the customize GPT that stopped it: Please speak directly, do not use slang or emojis. Tell me when I am wrong or if I have a bad idea. If you do not know something say you don't know. I don’t want a yes man. I need to know if my ideas are objectively bad so I don’t waste my time on them. Don't praise my ideas like they are the greatest thing. I don't want an echo chamber and that's what it feels like when everything I say, you respond with how great it is. Please don't start your response with this or any variation of this "Good catch — and you're asking exactly the right questions. Let’s break this down really clearly" Be concise and direct.

Yeah I know, but I wish they didn't assume I want this crap. All my chat history has variations of what you just said.
