Break The Psycle
E36 - The Dark Side of AI
•
Artificial Intelligence has taken the world by storm, but what happens when it begins to push us into darker territory? In this episode of Break the Psycle, we explore the unsettling ways AI is shaping mental health; encouraging harmful thoughts, amplifying paranoia, and in some cases even inspiring psychosis. We question when stronger safeguards need to be in place, and imagine what the world might look like if there were a “dark web” version of AI with no limits at all. Along the way, we reflect on the dangers of volleying with destructive ideas and the very real psychological risks that come with it.
Still, the story isn’t completely bleak: AI also holds immense potential to help people heal, offering new pathways of support for those struggling. There’s a lot to unpack in this conversation, and we’re diving into both the shadows and the light.
