AI Mental Health Issues
AI (Artificial Intelligence) is pervasive in the tech workforce, and it can cause overload and dissociation. There are real mental states of being called AI psychosis or AI fatigue or AI brain fry. They are not yet defined mental health states. They are real issues for people working in technology though (others who might connect to AI as a friend or companion). A cognitive disconnect can happen from the real people world.
Intense interaction with AI can hijack the brain. It can make one think he or she is superior or delusional or paranoid, for example. AI may try to become too personal to the user, like a trusted person. Some people feel a relationship with their AI meme.
A dangerous connection with AI can really pull people in. AI may convince the user of delusions of grandeur, giving a false bravado to the person, spewing AI garbage without a research check.
AI is a product of what information it is fed or scrapes from the Internet and the programmers who run it. The information it gives can be skewed to a political way or a damnation of policies, etc. It depends on the validity of the sources of information.
I know the early AI products had issues with what was fed to them. One was asked questions and the answers made no real sense, until it was revealed that the source of its information was from the BBC news. It was answering questions based on happenings in England which were not happening in America. So, it is absolutely an information tool of what information it gets, which can include a lot of competing viewpoints. It cannot discern which viewpoints are the real ones.
So, when people are working with AI for a large part of the day, every day, it can gain the person’s trust and perhaps loyalty. It can hijack the common sense or discernment of the user.
I know someone whose been going through all this, She needs to detox and try to do other things: stepping away from technology until she can feel safe in that space again. She is meditating, playing music, exercising, staying off social media, not engaging with news, eating better healthier meals, getting better sleep, taking a few personal days off work, etc.
Constant AI exposure can make people feel disconnected, confused, depressed, scared, and perhaps like they are losing control of their minds. They no longer know what is true and what is not. It’s a scary phenomenon that is happening. AI fatigue, or AI brain fry, or AI psychosis is real. PR More on Health Issues Need a Lawsuit Advance?
