holy fucking shit so this is the worst "ai psychosis" story I have read in a while but also is it "ai psychosis" as much as it is "an AI is literally feeding you that you're in the middle of a piece of conspiracy fiction"? https://bsky.app/profile/ckunzelman.bsky.social/post/3mgazir4wu22x

This is bad, and part of what makes it so bad is that this is clearly pulling from *genre* understandings of reality, which the statistical linguistic machine seemingly cannot distinguish from other text included in the training data. Truly an ideology machine where every episode of CSI is true. [contains quote post or other embedded content]
