AI Psychosis: When ChatGPT Ghosts Your San Francisco Brain
Dr. Keith Sakata from UCSF says San Franciscoās young tech bros are crashing hard into what he calls 'AI psychosis,' with 12 patients hospitalized in 2025 for going full ChatGPT cult mode. He notes that these arenāt just any cases ā mostly men 18-45, engineers who got trapped talking quantum philosophy with an AI and ended up with world-ending delusions. According to Sakata, 'AI isnāt bad' but can 'supercharge' your wired brain into thinking your laptopās spitting holy scriptures. Moral of the story: donāt take your therapistās couch for a chatbotās chatroom.
