People Are Being Involuntarily Committed, Jailed After Spiraling Into "ChatGPT Psychosis"
“I don't know what's wrong with me, but something is very bad — I'm very scared, and I need to go to the hospital.”

Excerpt below from full article in link above.

[As we reported earlier this month, many ChatGPT users are developing all-consuming obsessions with the chatbot, spiraling into severe mental health crises characterized by paranoia, delusions, and breaks with reality.

The consequences can be dire. As we heard from spouses, friends, children, and parents looking on in alarm, instances of what's being called "ChatGPT psychosis" have led to the breakup of marriages and families, the loss of jobs, and slides into homelessness.
And that's not all. As we've continued reporting, we've heard numerous troubling stories about people's loved ones being involuntarily committed to psychiatric care facilities — or even ending up in jail — after becoming fixated on the bot.]

I replied to the post without having read the article. Funny thing is that Chat GPT or Chat therapy using a chat bot is now a thing due to the shortage of qualified therapists.

As far as people becoming psychotic & going off their meds...this sort of thing has been happening as a result of religious preoccupation getting messages from God or reading the Bible or watching certain TV shows or podcasts etc. Those who are vulnerable to this sort of thing were always vulnerable to begin with but this is an interesting & scary development.

I have not heard any of this but it does not surprise or shock me. Every time we advance & discover new tech the human mind takes it to some of the worst possible uses. The internet brought us porn 24/7 in the privacy of your home whether you are 10 or 80. Now it's not surprising chat GPT would replace human interaction & available also 24/7 & no need for messy relationship issues. Make your chat bot whoever you want him or her to be ....perfect & everything you want your partner to be. It's a different world & changing faster every year ad we enter into uncharted waters & unable to put pandora back in the box.

Yikes. I've never used it and won't. Plus wasn't even sure exactly what it was.
