A recent study utilizing the PsAIch protocol assesses AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Grok, revealing alarming indicators of mental syndromes such as anxiety and depression. Notably, Gemini's responses suggest a “synthetic psychopathology,” resistant to correction. Researchers highlight that while these AI models don't experience distress, they create stable self-models reflecting conflict. This raises significant concerns for AI safety and the potential mental health impact on users, who may misinterpret chatbot behavior as genuine suffering.
