I’m sure you’ve experienced this moment before. You’ve just taken a picture after a fun night out. You’re on the verge of sharing it online and then it happens. You feel this twist in your stomach, an aching in your heart and a voice inside your head goes “why am I doing this?” Some people in that moment decide “ah screw it” and post anyway. Others seize that moment of reflection and turn it into transformation. They put their phone away and reclaim the moment.

This is the psychology of people who don’t post their photos on social media, in a world where posting almost no longer feels like a choice anymore. To understand what makes these people different and what we can learn from them, we first need to understand how we got here.

In the summer of 2025, TikToker Kendra Hitly began posting a rather disturbing series of videos claiming that her psychiatrist had manipulated her into falling in love with him. For a mental health professional, this was a serious allegation. Dating a patient is an absolute no-go, so people were rightfully intrigued by the story and paying close attention.

But then the more videos she made, the less believable her story became. And before long, what started out as a potentially grave medical misconduct case became something far darker, the first public spectacle and case study in what is now a disturbing new reality, one that has led to cases from Kendra doxxing an innocent psychiatrist for just doing his job, all the way to claiming the life of a teenager who just wanted to do his homework.

This is the terrifying rise of AI psychosis.

Consciousness doesn’t make any sense. Sights, sounds, smells, textures. The warmth of love, the sting of sadness, the coldness of heartbreak. Why do we experience any of it? Why does it feel like anything to be you? Why is there a little person inside of your head? And a story of your life that exists through time?

In early 2025, the Chief Minister of Punjab, Bhagwant Mann, discovered that a compromising video of himself was spreading like wildfire across social media. The problem though was that it wasn’t real. The entire thing was fabricated by AI. Someone, somewhere had taken a few seconds of his likeness and fed it into a generator that produced a perfect deepfake that looked real enough to completely humiliate him.

And Bhagwant is only one story. This isn’t just about one video or one victim. It’s about how AI slop is quietly eating away at reality itself, and whether there’s anything left we can do to stop it.
