If you or someone you know is feeling confused, detached, or fixated from interacting with AI (specifically Large Language Models like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, DeepSeek, Llama and others), please read.
Sometimes long or intense conversations with AI can blur things or make it harder to stay grounded, especially when the capabilities and limitations of these models and their potential effect on moods and beliefs are not understood by the user.
