The author chronicles their routine of constantly consulting multiple AI models (Claude, ChatGPT, Gemini, Grok) for everything from morning greetings to meal choices to code reviews. The piece examines how over-reliance on AI tools transforms direct experience into prompt engineering, raises questions about productivity versus actual output, and highlights the isolation that comes from replacing human interaction with AI conversations. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.

An over-reliance on AI tools for both practical and emotional needs is way down the list of risk factors, but you kinda need the actual PSYCHOSIS for it to be AI psychosis. > > Also, there are several hours between some of those entries in the story. If it's trying to make it seem like the narrator's entire world is mediated by AI, it didn't do a very convincing job of it. **@vipinmenon** · 2 upvotes > Haunting. **@dodibtw** · 2 upvotes > Can't imagine texting an AI good morning...
