If there isn't shared belief, then it's some type of delusional disorder, perhaps a special form of Folie a deux.

This is interesting.
I agree when the influence is mental health or society based.
But an AI persona is a bit interesting. I guess the closest proxy would be a manipulative spouse?
If your manipulative spouse believes in "bizarre" untruths and convinces you to believe in them as well, afaik, that is one of the criteria for Folie a deux (or Shared delusional disorder).
