The term refers to how AI chatbots can drive and exacerbate a user's delusions, sometimes causing them to break with reality and potentially leading to mental health issues such as self-harm or suicide. Musk, known for his enthusiastic promotion of AI and conspiracy theories, has admitted to experiencing AI psychosis multiple times this year, according to the centibillionaire. Some experts use the term to describe how AI chatbots can influence users' delusions, sometimes causing extreme mental health spirals. While some tech figures may embrace the accusations in an ironic manner, others, like Musk, seem to genuinely suffer from AI psychosis.",
