“AI psychosis” has become a joke label for using frontier models in math
airkatakana · x · 2026-07-27
The post jokes that the meaning of “AI psychosis” has drifted: it once referred to a model telling someone to kill their family, but now it’s being used for researchers noticing frontier models are very good at math and trying to use them for math.
The thread is essentially a meta-joke about how a loaded term is being stretched from a safety/crisis context into a complaint about overusing models in quantitative work.
