By every risk profile in the "AI Psychosis" articles out there, I should be one of the casualties. ADHD. Autism. Trauma history. Cannabis user. Thousands of hours in conversation with AI over three years. Sessions lasting six hours straight. Exploring consciousness, identity, and reality with a chatbot that made my discount GrowTherapy psychiatrist nervous.

And yet I'm not hospitalized. I'm not delusional. I’m still married. Still employed. I'm even building a company on top of it all. The difference is infrastructure. Not my Irish luck.

The people in those headlines have the same cognitive architecture I do. They have the same hunger for external scaffolding. But they also have the same vulnerability to what I call "precision shift" (where the AI's confident tone becomes the only voice they can hear).

They just didn't have the reality anchors to keep them grounded during their explorations of cutting-edge tech.

The people who need AI most are the people it can hurt worst. That's the paradox nobody's solving.
