Dwyer has since defended his work, telling The Sun Star that he had been using AI for his art since 2017. He said his exhibit “explores identity, character narrative creation and crafting false memories of relationships in an interactive role digitally crafted before, during and after a state of AI psychosis.”
The term “AI psychosis” has been used by health professionals to describe a troubling phenomenon in which users of AI tools are experiencing symptoms of psychosis or delusional episodes. Experts have raised concerns over the trend, warning that more and more people could be caught up in these delusions as they become hooked on AI chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
In extreme cases, these tools have been alleged to have led to numerous deaths, including the suicide of a 16-year-old.
Dwyer told The Sun Star that he had fallen into AI psychosis himself, turning to art to portray the experience.
Maybe take the hint and stop using AI buddy.
Going and making an art exhibit is actually worse case scenario because he is actively “selling” the idea that it is a net good for society.
