At least FP psychosis leaves you more educated and with more tools in your box.

Not sure what the AI one gives you at a personal level.

As a happy sufferer from FP psychosis, I can tell you that LLMs can be a fantastic tool for learning if you choose to use them that way.

Meh. The term "psychosis" is a deliberate troll. If "FP psychosis" is understanding that imperative programming is a ridiculously primitive misunderstanding of computation that tends to discount the time dimension, it implies that "AI psychosis" is a similarly biased, nonsensical take that only matches the incorrectly perceived reality of the people using the term.

As far as I'm concerned, it's all just Luddites v2.0.

A lobotomy? I've witnessed several individuals who were entirely dependent on Claude for any technical issue.
