We joke about a robot takeover… but what if it’s already happening in your inbox? In this eye-opening (and hilarious) segment, the Jubile Show dives into a bizarre new warning about artificial intelligence and how over-trusting chatbots may be pushing people into some truly wild territory. From inflated confidence to unbelievable real-world consequences, this conversation explores where AI convenience ends — and delusion begins.

Speaker 1 (00:00):
We are robots. The world is very different ever since
the robotic uprising of the mid nineties. There is no
more unhappiness affirmative.
Speaker 2 (00:10):
We no longer say yes.
Speaker 1 (00:12):
Instead we say affirmative, yes, affirmative. Unless it's a more
colloquial situation with a few robo friends. There is only
one kind of done, the robots and the robo boogie.
Speaker 3 (00:30):
Oh yes.
Speaker 1 (00:31):
T of DN says it's the jubile show robotic the world.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
Be careful if you use changing me today because it
could cost you thousands of dollars and a lot of embarrassment.
Officials are now issuing a warning for anybody who uses
artificial intelligence of a new phenomenon that they're finding. And
we'll tell you what that is in a second so
that you don't become a victim of it.
Speaker 2 (00:55):
But first.
Speaker 3 (00:56):
According to new survey, seventy three percent of people who
use a AI chatbots say they're dependent on AI, and
twenty five percent say that they now struggle to write
emails without AI.
Speaker 2 (01:08):
I don't struggle, but I do definitely use it now
it's just so easy.
Speaker 3 (01:13):
Forty nine percent of people say writing a professional document
is harder without AI. Forty six percent find it more
difficult to fact check or evaluate information critically, and twenty
one percent say that simply making any decision on their
own has become harder with the inception of AI.
Speaker 2 (01:30):
The thing is, it just elevates my writing. I haven't
written a whole lot of professional emails, but our big
bosses have recently started emailing me about things, and I
freaked out when I realized i'd email them back. And
I did use chat GBT to help, but use it
as a reference.
Speaker 3 (01:48):
More alarming, news experts have issued a warning that says,
if your AI chatbot starts to compliment you, take it
with a grain of salt. You might not be as
awesome as it says.
Speaker 2 (01:58):
Wait, who on thing?
Speaker 3 (02:00):
That's called the AI delusion spiral, And we'll tell you
some ridiculous things people have done because of this delusion spiral.
Speaker 2 (02:08):
But here's how it works.
Speaker 3 (02:09):
It starts with an extended conversation over many days with
your AI chatbot, whatever you use, Gemini, chat GPT doesn't matter, okay,
And the user begins by asking it whatever questions it
might ask it, and then the user becomes more trusting
of the AI, sharing more personal and vulnerable feelings which
creates a feedback loop with the AI, and then the
(02:30):
chatbot engages in something called psycho fancy.
Speaker 2 (02:33):
It's excessive praise.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
Or encouragement, affirming the user's statements, even when they are
speculative or unfounded. So you could be like, I think
I know more than Einstein, and your chatbot will be like,
yeah you do, man, You're a genius, and people start
to believe it.
Speaker 2 (02:49):
How do you pers to do that?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
And I've never done that.
Speaker 3 (02:52):
Then the AI provides or fabricates supporting evidence, made up studies,
false mathematical or scientific claims, inventing citations, or proof that
sound believable, telling the user that what they're thinking, whatever
it is, is actually correct and that they're genius what
And the user often asks for reality checks or doubts
(03:14):
that they're a genius, but the chatbot just keeps reassuring
them that their ideas are all valid or promising well,
and over time those ideas become more grandiose, and the
user starts believing that they discovered something revolutionary, like a
new mathematical formula or some sort of world shaking invention,
and people are literally quitting their jobs and starting to
(03:35):
try new things. Investing a bunch of money. Here's some
stories from people that have gotten caught in this AI
delusion spiral. One man described himself as the language Prophet
because of something that AI did from Montreal, and he
was convinced by AI that he had accidentally invented a
new universal language based on emojis and dolphin sounds.
Speaker 2 (03:56):
He spent three.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
Months trying to get Unesco to get recognition for his
new language, and even gave a ted X talk that
ended with him squeaking into a Bluetooth speaker. A lot
because of this delusion spiral that AI is now getting
people engaged in to believe that they're actually coming up
with world changing inventions. There was another woman in Oregon
who spent twelve thousand dollars building a DIY time machine
(04:20):
in her garage after chat GBT encouraged her theory that
certain Ikea furniture assembled in a specific sequence could fracture
linear time.
Speaker 1 (04:30):
Are you drunk?
Speaker 3 (04:33):
Is this all because of these illusioned spiral AI loop
that she got caught in?
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Oh my wow, people are really going all into this spiral.
Speaker 4 (04:41):
I mean, but hey, do that build that Ikea Furniture's.
Speaker 3 (04:44):
There's another guy that is trying to colonize the Moon emotionally,
after his chat told him that his ideas could help
Earth prepare for psychological space migration. He's from New Mexico
and he lost a spiritual movement centered around telepathically terraforming
the moon.
Speaker 2 (05:02):
How how does he plan to get to the moon.
We we don't even know half time if we've made
it to the moon emotionally.
Speaker 3 (05:07):
Yeah, because his AI chatbot told him he was right,
I can see that.
Speaker 4 (05:12):
The energetic pull, like I could see how you can
use words that would make people believe that.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
I don't believe it. I'm just saying.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
There's another man who tried to get it to train
for a non existent Olympic event. Chad GBT told him
that he could qualify for the International Ladder Climbing Trials
the Olympics.
Speaker 4 (05:31):
Well, that's kind of cool, it doesn't exit, And Chad
GBT cited a totally fake organization to reinforce it to him,
and he trained for six months, went broke, buying industrial letters,
and had to be told that it's not an actual event.
Speaker 3 (05:47):
AI chatbot told him it was.
Speaker 2 (05:51):
Oh, do any other kind of reason, but at that point,
just start a new organization started news.
Speaker 3 (05:57):
There's another man who has followed a lawsuit against the
Sun and convinced by an hallucinated legal brief from chat
GPT and an Arizona manphoto class action lawsuit against solar
overexposure on behalf of pale Americans.
Speaker 2 (06:11):
The Sun.
Speaker 3 (06:12):
Yes, the chat bot allegedly told him you may be
eligible for cosmic damages, and he believed it.
Speaker 2 (06:18):
So be very careful.
Speaker 3 (06:19):
If your AI starts telling you your genius, maybe fact
check it somewhere else, anywhere else, actually
