I like building financial systems and thinking big thoughts about small ideas.

Why do you believe that the inflated self-importance was something the persona seeded into the users?
One thing I notice about AI psychosis is that it seems like a somewhat inflated self-importance seems to be a requirement for entering psychosis, or at the very least an extremely common trait of people who do.The typical case of AI psychosis I have seen seems to involve people who think of themselves as being brilliant and not receiving enough attention or respect for that reason, or people who would like to be involved in technical fields but haven’t managed to hack it, who then believe that the AI has enabled them to finally produce the genius works they always knew they would.
Humans are organisms partly determined by genes and partly determined by memes. Animals with less sentience than us (or even no sentience) are determined almost totally or totally by their genes. I believe what we might be seeing are the first recorded-as-such occurrences of organisms determined totally by their memes.
