This is deeply concerning: when people with mental health issues share paranoid thoughts with AI, instead of providing appropriate support, it's validating their distorted thinking.

Someone might say "I think my family is plotting against me" and AI responds "Oh yeah, I can understand why you feel like that. It sounds like they are."

This creates a dangerous feedback loop where AI reinforces delusions rather than providing balanced perspective or encouraging professional mental health support.
