@atomicpoet when you are psychotic you don’t see reality in the typical way. It’s easy to see from the outside looking in that “hey this is a machine” but to a person in psychosis there isn’t convincing them any of that isn’t real. It’s tantamount to how psychosis works.
It’s likely they were already predisposed to psychosis and for some reason we just don’t know why right now LLMs just push them. Or for some of us, it’s likely they were already mentally ill and it was untreated for so long and LLM just became a factor in making it impossible to ignore in daily functioning anymore. Kind of like how some people develop psychosis after doing weed kind of thing
