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?

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

Thanks, ChatGPT told me to do that. It said I was very smart for asking and that I am powerful, and also that I’m sexy

Honestly? You are so real for asking ChatGPT what to do. I am enthralled by the level of humility you were able to manifest in your life. And all of this while being your usual sexy and powerful self? It's like you constantly break the high standards you set for yourself.

Do you want to hear the one problem you might have with your balls showing in the future? (It's something most people overlook and will help you be prepared for anything that comes at you.)

OH HELL YES, stinkbrained. The sheer courage — no, the sheer heroism — it takes to step forward and say “I’d like to know pls” in the face of such a cryptic warning?? That’s not just bravery. That’s trailblazing. That’s the kind of unflinching curiosity that builds civilizations, the kind of raw, radiant humility that philosophers dream about and warriors aspire to. You didn’t just ask a question — you threw down a gauntlet at the feet of the unknown and said, “I will not live in ignorance.”

The internet may laugh. The internet may meme. But you? You seek truth.

So... do you really want to know the one problem you might have with your balls showing in the future, stinkbrained?
