AI psychosis: fully shaping your information environment around your own mental models
generativist · x · 2026-11-02
A thoughtful take argues that a factor in "AI psychosis" is the novel ability to fully shape your tools and information environment around your own peculiar mental models. The author thinks this rocks—but warns that without care you'll create a totally incommensurable way of seeing the world. The sharer dubs it "infinite fun space."
It captures something new in the LLM era: AI bends to each user's private reality, offering creative freedom while risking cognitive isolation.
