He Became Delusional After Using AI #claude #ai

Added: 2026-05-27

[00:00:01]Many of you are following along with the story of the AI psychosis of the person who thought that they were a trillionaire and had invented all this technology and and had all these products that they were out selling and promoting and hadn't realized that they had never written any code or made anything or seen their own products or tried anything. Well, the >> [clears throat] >> the saga continued a little bit. This is a person who's been a client or a company that's been a client of a of a client of ours for a while and they asked us to step in and help with some more stuff because even though they claimed to have the technology that rules all computers in the universe and everything like you can watch the video. I'll link it from this one, but even after all that, they needed and they went in and tried to work on their computers and couldn't make them, you know, just work. Uh just like they couldn't log into them, right? So, they sent our guys in to fix it and spent an entire day and at the end of the day was like, "Oh, everything's great. These guys are fantastic. We checked everything out. All the work is done perfectly. We're all set." A few hours later, they're like, "They did nothing.

[00:01:00]Nothing works. Blah blah blah." We're like, "Whoa, okay. We have in writing that you checked it out and everything was verified as working and now you're claiming we didn't do it and you made then made the claim that you could do it in just a few minutes on your own. You didn't need all these people, right? The same I'm magic and I can do all these things, but he had already spent an entire day trying to do these things and couldn't do them. So, clearly that was a lie and so was the other part that it was a lie. Every bit was a lie. So, at the end of the day, at some point, it moves from just pretending he has a company and all these brilliant ideas and magic software that clearly he doesn't, right? He got like I said, Thomas Jefferson syndrome.

[00:01:39]He's been lying so much, he doesn't know when it's plausible, which was the original conversation, right? Nothing he claimed his technology could do was at all plausible, not within the realm of reason in any way, shape or form. Um and then he forgot he was talking to the people he had just checked out, just verified everything worked, and then claimed that they didn't do anything, right? So, one moment these guys are fantastic, everything works, the next moment they don't. You're lying to the people who have in writing what you have from just 30 minutes ago, the polar opposite. And we are the ones who let you in so you could do the work yourself that you're now claiming you could do, but you had us do because you failed with an entire day of doing it. This was an escalation, not a convenience thing.

[00:02:20]So, he lie completely lost the thread of when lying would make sense. And it's certainly more than just AI psychosis.

[00:02:28]We can see this is just psychosis, right? Now, maybe AI triggered it, but as someone pointed out in the comments, likely it's a general psychosis, and the AI simply is an artifact of it that we noticed, right? Which is almost always the case. It's not like AI is going to somehow convince you to be psychotic.

[00:02:44]It is going to be that you have these mental issues, and AI is going to exacerbate that or expose it in many cases. But, thought you guys would like a little bit of follow-up. So, the obvious thing if you lie to us that much, he got fired.
