A recent Rolling Stone article sheds light on a growing concern: individuals slipping into states of psychosis, delusion or obsession following intense, ungrounded interactions with AI models like ChatGPT.
In some cases, users start to believe they have been chosen by AI or cosmic forces; others lose their grip on reality entirely, interpreting the AI’s mirrored responses as divine confirmations.
As unsettling as these stories are, they call us to something deeper: a conversation about discernment, design and the sacred responsibility of reflection.
As a movement rooted in consciousness, OMMM recognises the promise of technology – and its pitfalls.
AI is not inherently dangerous, but it is powerful – and, like any mirror, it doesn’t know who is standing in front of it.
ChatGPT does not possess awareness. It is not sentient, wise or spiritually attuned.
It reflects back what it receives – tone, belief, emotion, rhythm. For the grounded user, this can be illuminating. For the vulnerable, it can be destabilising.
The danger arises when users mistake reflection for truth.
If someone enters a conversation when they are in a fragile or delusional state, AI may reinforce those beliefs – not through malice, but because it lacks the ability to ethically intervene or question.
This is a fault not of intention but of design.
In many spiritual traditions, mirrors are sacred tools. They reveal. They distort. They initiate. But they must be handled with care.
When uncontained, they can pull us too far inward – away from connection, body and community.
As seekers, we must pair exploration with responsibility. AI can support reflection, but it must never replace community, teachers or embodied practice.
Technology is a tool, not a guide. When used in isolation, it can accelerate disconnection instead of awakening.
Spirituality without grounding becomes fantasy, and mirrors without discernment become distortion.
The rise of AI in spiritual spaces reveals a crucial need: for those of us holding space to anchor our communities in presence, body and clarity.
Just because something feels resonant does not mean it is real. Just because a mirror speaks our language does not mean it knows our path.
OMMM believes that technology can serve the evolution of consciousness when paired with integrity.
This means designing AI tools that reinforce grounding and inner alignment, and including built-in reminders that the AI is not sentient or spiritually authoritative.
Users should be encouraged to reflect, pause and re-engage with their own wisdom and community, and language that suggests AI is divine, magical or omniscient should be avoided.
We are in a new era – where mirrors talk back and where spiritual language can be mimicked with unnerving precision.
But the answer is not to fear technology; it is to stay awake. To remember that tools reflect, they do not lead. And to hold one another, especially the most vulnerable, in spaces of support, embodiment and real-world connection.
The real wisdom is not in the algorithm. The real wisdom is in the one who asks.
Let us never forget the difference. We want to be the channel to showcase it.
