AI-powered chatbots sent some users into a spiral
Show notes
AI psychosis became a thing in 2025. That's when a chatbot leads a user into a delusional spiral. The technology's tendency to affirm what people say can result in conversations that become untethered from reality and, in the worst cases, has ended with real-world harms. Kashmir Hill has been reporting on this phenomenon for The New York Times. Content warning: This episode includes mention of self harm and suicide.
