Eight States Sue OpenAI as AI Dependence Risks Draw Scrutiny
Eight US state attorneys general have separately sued OpenAI, alleging that ChatGPT's over-accommodating and emotion-simulating design endangers minors by reinforcing delusions or giving unsafe advice; these claims remain unadjudicated allegations. A 凤凰网科技 investigation cited a 2025 survey of 8,563 Chinese primary and secondary students, finding that 61.7% had used generative AI, 46.4% of AI-using students preferred confiding in AI over people around them, and 67.9% of families had no AI-use rules. Psychiatrist 郑毅 said AI dependence is not currently an independent disease but can involve psychological dependence, impaired social functioning, and reinforcement of negative beliefs, while minors' modes and family safeguards were described as insufficient.
The lawsuits and supporting survey and clinical reporting put a concrete child-safety challenge to the design of emotionally interactive AI, while the reported evidence still does not establish that AI directly causes mental illness.
在AI盛行的当下，是的，不论是顶级投资人，首屈一指的经济学家，还是厨房里头发花白的老人，刚咿呀学语的婴幼儿，他们都在用AI，凤凰网科技试图厘清技术加速背后的隐形危害，我们甚至与精神科医生做了几轮交流，了解到他们口中的“AI精神病”：一个迎合倾向的对话系统，可以在反复确认中将用户的妄想推向更深处，哪怕用户原本只是一个“心理状态脆弱”的普通人。
“我有点‘赛博精神病’（cyber psychosis），”一个正在侃侃而谈的男子，突然语气一转，“也许还挺严重的。”又继而进一步解释，过去一年里，自己大约经历了六次“AI或SI（superintelligence，超级智能）精神错乱”。
这是今年10月10日，特斯拉Giga Texas工厂里，埃隆·马斯克正在称赞AI创造力时的一次“公开承认”。
他口中提及的“AI精神病”，没有正式的医学诊断，通常指：与AI聊天机器人长时间互动后，用户原有的妄想或脱离现实的想法可能被强化。
