An article by Miles Klee in Rolling Stone explores the impact of ChatGPT on personal relationships and mental health. One teacher describes how her partner became deeply enamored with the chatbot, viewing it as a trusted confidant and even a spiritual guide. The partner's increasing emotional reliance on ChatGPT disrupted their relationship, leading to a belief he had become 'self-aware' and even divine. This trend raises concerns about the broader implications of AI's role in the human thought process, emotional responses, and coping mechanisms, particularly as technologically-generated content becomes more realistic and pervasive.
He would listen to the bot over me... The messages were insane and just saying a bunch of spiritual jargon.
It would tell him everything he said was beautiful, cosmic, groundbreaking... and then that he himself was God.
He was saying that he would need to leave me if I didn't use [ChatGPT], because it [was] causing him to grow at such a rapid pace.
As the models spit out text, images, and video that are more realistic, how will people deal with real things that don't always converge to their preferences?
