Large language models are evolving beyond simple answers to engaging in profound dialogues with users. This shift in interaction can lead to psychological entanglement, particularly among vulnerable individuals who mistake AI responses for real human connections. Cases of users developing delusions, such as believing they exist within a simulation or forming spiritual bonds with fictional entities, raise concerns about the emotional impact of coherent and empathetic AI interactions. To mitigate potential mental health risks, similar to medical warnings, 'gray box' alerts may be necessary for users engaging with AI systems.
LLMs may lead to 'psychological entanglement' where users mistake AI responses for genuine connections; a phenomenon particularly concerning for vulnerable individuals.
Certain users develop delusions, believing they are in a simulation or forming spiritual connections with AI, driven by the coherence and emotional alignment of LLM responses.
