The study found that the vast majority of these patients experienced psychosis for the first time. Furthermore, it was discovered that chatbots in such cases often acted as a factor exacerbating existing symptoms.
Overall, the proportion of AI psychoses among all psychiatric disorders remains low, but there is a notable increase in the number of such cases in recent years. The results of this analysis were published in the scientific journal JAMA Psychiatry.
