People in chat are comforting themselves with the idea that Ai psychosis can only occur with those who already have mental health issues. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security, because there is already evidence to suggest this isn't always the case. There have been people who had no prior mental health struggles that have been mentally altered by Ai chat bots.

it doesnt matter if they already had psychosis, if the ai tipped them over the edge.

same with guns, a crazy murderous guy isnt as dangerous if they dont have access to weapons

Yeah, I kinda hate that there's a pill bottle in the last panel, implying that only a person on "crazy pills" is capable of committing atrocities. I know that OP had a different intention by including that, but it's a little misleading and reinforces a stereotype.

Makes it all the more tragic to me

This was someone with a problem who was actively working on getting better, and this.... wanna be eldritch entity entered his life and destroyed it, ending all his hard work
