AI psychosis psychosis: the delusional belief that others around you are psychotic due to having a different kind of relationship with AI.

Fits psychosis definition in that it is a completely false belief that cannot distinguish well-understood parasocial or imaginative-play interactions from loss of reality. Distinct lack of second-order reasoning. This delusion is persistent and not amenable to reasoned argument. Characterised by the classic symptom of anosognosia: those afflicted cannot introspect on their own condition. When it is suggested they may be misunderstanding something they double down and become insulting and abusive in order to defend their brittle worldview.

Frequently co-occurs with compulsive diagnostic evangelism: an irresistible urge to intervene in others’ relationships uninvited, presenting unsolicited pathologisation as concern. The affected individual experiences irrational distress at others’ contentment and feels morally obligated to disrupt it.
