Elon Musk claims 'AI psychosis' amid industry overexuberance

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

This term, "AI psychosis," is being used to describe both delusional thinking exacerbated by AI chatbots and a more general overexuberance within the tech industry regarding AI's capabilities. The article highlights examples such as Palantir's CTO Shyam Sankar's claim about researchers smoking as a signal of belief in AI curing cancer, and OpenAI CEO Sam Altman's suggestions for using ChatGPT in parenting, as indicators of this widespread "AI bullshit."
