Claude-Tism
The intense hyper-fixation on the AI assistant Claude, characterized by an absolute, unwavering belief that everything it generates is absolute gospel. Someone exhibiting Claude-tism will completely abandon standard Google searches, argue with real-world experts using AI screenshots as "proof," and trust Claude's coding or writing advice over their own eyes.
Symptoms include:
Blindly copy-pasting code without reading it because "Claude said it works."
Treating the AI like a deeply trusted coworker, therapist, or personal deity.
Defending the AI's hallucinations as "a higher form of truth."

"Bro, Kevin has major Claude-tism. Yesterday he tried to tell his doctor that he didn't need antibiotics because Claude wrote him a custom prompt to cure his strep throat with raw garlic and positive vibes."
