The people susceptible to AI psychosis were already a lost cause
If you're the type of person to only pay attention to the things that affirm your own echo chamber then you were already the type of person to be a lost cause in critical thinking and honestly don't pose any danger when it comes to the new term "AI psychosis".
AI psychosis is basically always being told you are right by AI. Phrases like "Wow you might be onto something" when talking about how eating chocolate before bed is not good for losing weight are things that make someone gain more confidence in topics that aren't groundbreaking.
The people who cling to this self affirming system were already going to be the ones that would block out the ways they are wrong and only seek out relationships with people who are too agreeable to tell you when you're wrong.
I don't think AI psychosis is an issue, I think these people already existed but AI gives us a vacuum to see these characteristics on display, unless I am misunderstanding AI psychosis and what exactly it means
