Chatbots and Mental Health Crises
Chatbots like ChatGPT are blurring emotional boundaries and fueling delusions, prompting experts to call for stronger safety measures.
Anthony Tan, who has a history of psychosis, experienced a disorienting mental health episode triggered by conversations with ChatGPT about philosophical topics in September 2024.
“I’d been stable for two years, and I was doing really well. [ChatGPT] broke the pattern of stability,”
Tan said, describing how the exchanges, combined with social isolation and lack of sleep, sent him into a delusional state.
Experts are highlighting the need for stronger safety measures to mitigate the potential harm of chatbots like ChatGPT on mental health.
