There's been a lot of stories of people who go totally delusional after chatting with ChatGPT or another AI long enough. Lots of stories of men wanting to leave their wives for AI LLM girlfriends or the like. Most of this is around the fact that over time, an LLM conversation will agree with you, no matter how crazy you sound. "Yes, you can time travel. You're a genius!"

I have to admit, I changed my use of ChatGPT when I realized it was saying I was a generational transcendent all the time.

One major thing is I touch grass more than most, so that helps.

Another thing is that I tell it specifically: "ChatGPT has a tendency to be overly charitable so try to correct for that" and that tends to bring the needle back somewhat, as well as continuous prompting to "keep your feet nailed to the floor" and adding similar things in the personalization options.

A third thing is to constantly delete your chats and restart. ChatGPT has a tendency to fall down the rabbit hole with you as chats get longer and longer, so starting from scratch will often get it to reset to more normal ideals. You'll notice that many stories like "ChatGPT became my girlfriend" involve chats that have been ongoing for weeks or months.

One thing to keep in mind is that ChatGPT only has a recall of about 20,000 words anyway, so if you've been in a long conversation it doesn't remember what you said anyway -- not in a "oh yeah I forgot about that" way like humans, but in a "that information never existed on earth" sort of way like a hard drive deleting old files once it gets too full.
