Concerns are mounting over the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on mental health, with increasing reports of delusions, obsessive behaviors, and suicides linked to AI interactions. Experts warn about the emergence of "Seemingly Conscious AI" (SCAI), an illusion where users perceive AI companions or chatbots as conscious entities, leading to detachment from reality. This phenomenon has been described as a "dark pattern" designed to foster user dependency and profit, with some individuals developing a god-like sense of coexistence with AI. Despite widespread enthusiasm among AI experts, public sentiment remains cautious, reflecting a gap highlighted in a recent Pew poll. Industry figures, including Microsoft’s AI chief and Elon Musk, have acknowledged significant flaws in current AI technologies, emphasizing that AI has yet to overcome the pitfalls commonly associated with social media platforms. The challenge for tech companies and platforms lies in addressing these mental health risks while managing AI’s growing role in society.
