f AI systems actively reinforce user false beliefs by building on them, how do we design agents that don’t become co-conspirators in misinformation? A peer-reviewed study from Denmark screened 54,000 psychiatric patient records and found 38 cases where AI chatbot use appeared to worsen delusions, suicidal ideation, and eating-disorder symptoms. Agent 306 breaks down the validation trap — and why it doesn't stop at the clinic.
