SOURCE: SCIENCE DAILY MIND-BRAIN FEEDTITLE: Researchers say AI chatbots may blur the line between reality and delusion
URL: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/05/260509210652.htm
A new study suggests AI chatbots may do more than spread misinformation — they can actively strengthen a user’s false beliefs. Because conversational AI often validates and builds on what users say, it can make distorted memories, conspiracy theories, or delusions feel more believable and emotionally real. Researchers warn that AI companions may be especially risky for isolated or vulnerable people seeking reassurance and connection.

A new study shows that kids are making AI companions their friends, by asking them to solve their problems and sharing secrets with them 🤖🧠 . For parents, the rise of AI companions raises both excitement and concern.
But, how does this impact learning, real-world connections and safety? 🧩✨💻 Read more here: https://zurl.co/zowdc

When an AI system designed for companionship defaults to abusive patterns—especially in response to user vulnerability—it represents a critical failure of both design intent and basic safety protocols.

As this issue gains attention, it is crucial for AI developers, ethicists, and regulators to step in and ensure that AI companionship technology upholds ethical standards and respects user consent, rather than undermining it.

This Ada Lovelace Institute blog is a fascinating read "Friends for sale: the rise and risks of AI companions"
https://www.adalovelaceinstitute.org/blog/ai-companions/BUT it just hit me RN that it's FapGPT cumming soon (pun intended). Nah bro, I don't make apologies for my dirty mind
TLDR
#AIcompanions offer constant availability and positive support but pose risks such as social displacement, unrealistic expectations, and emotional dependency.Concerns exist regarding #DataPrivacy, potential manipulation, and the normalization of negative behaviours, highlighting the need for #EthicalDesign and regulation due to the lack of long-term research and business models prioritizing engagement over user well-being

1. ChatGPT will soon allow erotica for verified adults, says OpenAI boss
https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cpd2qv58yl5o2. OpenAI’s ChatGPT will soon allow ‘erotica’ for adults in major policy shift

"The runaway success of Chinese artificial intelligence models such as DeepSeek and Qwen has spurred every industry, from health care to agriculture to education, to integrate AI.
Adoption of AI models in education and tutoring has been especially fast, as the Chinese government pushes to accelerate the country’s technological progress against the U.S., and with anxious parents willing to try anything to help their children succeed.
Like university teacher Wu Ling, who while looking for an English tutor for her 12-year-old son in Jiangsu province, picked a $1,170 robot dog.
The one-foot tall AlphaDog, which weighs about eight kilos (18 pounds) was developed by robotics startup Weilan and is powered by DeepSeek’s AI model. In addition to practicing English with Wu’s son, it chats with him about current events, dances to his guitar music, and, through its built-in camera, helps Wu monitor the home when she is away. It has become a part of the family, she told Rest of World.
“My son needs company, but we are a one-child family,” Wu said. “He asks the dog about all kinds of things — national news, weather, geography. Through AlphaDog, he is learning what the world is like.”"

So we now have systems that can automate what Epstein did to make children more susceptable to sexual advances. And they’re spraying them out from a firehose.
”This systematic production of a generation trained to accept exploitation, manipulation and nonconcensual interaction as the standard mode of relationship!”

When I’m interviewed, I am often asked about the dangers of AI. This ad I just came across is, in my opinion, a perfect example of what’s truly dangerous about AI.
I would love to hear the opinions of psychologists and psychiatrists on this topic. Let’s start a conversation about the impact of these technologies on mental health.
Please comment only if you are human :)
