Seeking advice: My daughter who has a schizophrenia spectrum disorder has become more paranoid than most of us about AI and wants to eliminate her exposure to it. Hence, she wants to replace her MacBook Air with a pre-2015 computer running GhostBSD and a CRT monitor. She also wants to replace her Google Fiber internet service with Spectrum service, wants to replace her iPhone with a Sunbeam dumb phone, and wants a CRT television to replace her smart TV. I am highly skeptical that these approaches will address her concerns in a way that is satisfactory.

My questions: What is the best way to eliminate or greatly reduce exposure to AI and other smart technologies on the internet without just disconnecting, which she has rejected? Any other suggestions?

The article discusses how childhood trauma, especially emotional and physical abuse, is linked to higher paranoia in adulthood, and how heavy cannabis use intensifies these symptoms. It uses data from a large non-clinical sample to show a dose-dependent amplification of paranoia with greater cannabis consumption, particularly among those exposed to emotional abuse and household discord. The findings highlight the role of trauma in paranoia and suggest trauma-informed approaches and harm reduction around cannabis use.

This topic is of interest to psychology enthusiasts because it explores how early life experiences shape cognitive and affective processes, and how substance use can interact with these factors to influence mental states such as paranoia. It also demonstrates the importance of nuanced measurement and cautions about causal interpretations in cross-sectional research.
