[ot] [madness] healing psychosis with ai

[Karl]

In the face of untrusted systems or untrusted people using them, a
different kind of AI could be started with, that would first model and
demonstrate the behaviors of itself, first, to the patient.

Like forming a shared language before beginning a dialog.

In such a case the patient must be aware that a malicious AI can convince
its user of anything and craft data that makes anything appear true.  The
user should be aware that AI forms its behaviors based on training data and
logic, so if the AI cannot demonstrate consistent appropriately weighted
patterns of data and logic that defend every tiniest part of its choices,
then it is misbehaving.

The AI can still both outcompute and deceive the user so some degree of
trust or trust-building is needed.  People with psychosis can't trust all
their experiences, so the process would be repeated in "symbiosis" with
treatment.

There is a lot of danger for taking advantage of patients: changing their
memories permanently, etc.  We will need to find and advocate for each
other.
