In the second part of a series, a psychiatrist defines "prolific AI psychosis" as generating large quantities of AI output without significantly increasing the real value of one's work. The problem is not increased output but the subject's inability to assess the quality of their own work, mimicking psychosis through a mild disconnection from reality. The author describes how AI tools act as a favorable slot machine and how developers can spiral into this state.
