I think chatbot addiction is a different issue. I think what people are usually pointing out when they talk about AI psychosis are phenomena where (like the post says) people become delusional, or their delusions seem to be shaped by exposure to the chatbot. My sense is that there’s also a related phenomenon where people might become less mentally stable and more likely to take violent actions that they wouldn’t have otherwise considered, even if they had the false beliefs that they now have, but idk if that’s right
