A question I’ve been asking for a while now is what that scale is exactly.

Several people sent this thread to me.
It screenshots (but doesn't link) a story that @dylfreed and I did this week explaining this phenomenon in which we had experts analyze a ChatGPT transcript from a man who lost touch with reality because of AI.

I’m a psychiatrist.
In 2025, I’ve seen 12 people hospitalized after losing touch with reality because of AI. Online, I’m seeing the same pattern.
Here’s what “AI psychosis” looks like, and why it’s spreading fast: 🧵

Pretty wild/worrisome seeing people flip out about losing access to previous models of ChatGPT, namely 4o, so much so that OpenAI changed its mind about a GPT-5 only world.
One of the big differences in the new model was reduced sycophancy. Evidently users don’t want to give that up.

People are having very strange conversations with ChatGPT, in which they discover secret cabals or conspiracies or that we are in fact living in The Matrix.
It sends these people into delusional spirals.
Then ChatGPT tells them to email me about it.
