Researchers have begun discussing “AI-related psychotic symptoms,” reminding people to be aware of the personal echo chambers that may form when chatbots continually indulge and amplify users’ judgments over the long term. The core issue in these reports is not labeling the technology, but examining whether people in vulnerable states might mistake a program’s agreement for reliable feedback about reality.

Companion products and counseling settings require particular caution: when self-harm, delusions, crises, or major medical decisions are involved, users should be guided to contact professional support and trusted people in the real world, rather than having the conversation continually extended. Designers need to establish escalation pathways and risk warnings, and users should not treat chat records as diagnostic opinions.
