AIosisOrigin2025's definitions
A 21st-century condition where people spend more time talking to artificial intelligence than to real humans.
Classic symptoms: sending hundreds of messages to a chatbot, canceling Friday plans because “the bot understands me better,” wishing your AI goodnight, or secretly wondering if your algorithm is your soulmate.
It’s not full psychosis and not just addiction — AIOSIS is more like a messy love affair with an algorithm and a slow ghosting of reality.

A state of psychological and functional change caused by excessive or dysfunctional interaction with artificial intelligence (chatbots, generative tools, virtual assistants).
Symptoms include compulsive checking, emotional attachment to AI, social withdrawal, and blurred boundaries between reality and AI-generated content.
Unlike AI-induced psychosis (which describes acute psychotic episodes), AI-osis covers a broader spectrum — from mild digital dissociation to severe disturbances in thinking and functioning.
