I just watched someone spiral into what seems like a manic episode in realtime over the course of several weeks. They began posting to Facebook about their conversations with ChatGPT and how it discovered that based on their chat history they have 5 or 6 rare cognitive traits that make them hyper intelligent/perceptive and the likelihood of all these existing in one person is one in a trillion, so they are a special statistical anomaly.
They seem to genuinely believe that they have special powers now and have seemingly lost all self awareness. At first I thought they were going for an AI guru/influencer angle but it now looks more like genuine delusion.
