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.
