I don’t understand how that relates to AI psychosis?
2 comments

I guess I misappropriated the term then, woops. AI OCD? AI obsession? Whatever you call the behavior that I saw myself and others falling in to. Getting obnoxiously fixated on the tooling and the models to a counterproductive degree.
you did, it has nothing to do with psychosis. as someone who has experienced psychosis you really should be more respectful about using mental health terms you don’t und
I’ll be more sensitive to that, thanks for the feedback.
AI psychosis: (informal) A phenomenon wherein individuals reportedly develop or experience worsening psychosis, such as paranoia and delusions, in connection with their use of chatbots.

The thing is, devs with AI psychosis often work on memory systems and harnesses as part of their delusion, so i would not rule out you have it!
Some people seem to give very little thought to semantics and semiotics lately, to the point where people use words vaguely without even looking it up.
