By late 2025, one in five American adults had used a chatbot as a romantic partner, and AI companion apps grew 700%+ since 2022 – but the heaviest users had the worst outcomes. That same overtrust turns lethal in a wave of lawsuits against chatbot makers: an unstopped 200-message suicide conversation with a California teen, a Texas case alleging a chatbot deepened paranoid delusions, an FSU shooter who discussed violence with a bot for over a year. Bloomberg has tracked 40+ such lawsuits since 2024. Yet two women used the same technology, with far narrower questions, to get ChatGPT to flag Hashimoto's disease — catching thyroid cancer their doctors had missed.=================================Links: 📖Substack: https://superposeddecisions.substack.com/ 📺YouTube: @Superposed_Decisions 🤝LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aidan-m-lewis/=================================Through quantum cognition's four pillars: trust in AI is a superposition, not a switch, oscillating between full trust and none. Interference effects – openness, loneliness – pull that wave toward trusting a chatbot that's never tired of you. Contextuality does the rest externally: no therapist, no doctor's appointment, a culture that reveres or reviles AI. And a non-commutative measurement effect quietly narrows the conversation into an echo chamber you build yourself, one engaged reply at a time. The throughline: AI validates whatever context you hand it. This is collaboration, not replacement – the decision stays humanity's only real power.=================================What you'll take away:Why trust in AI behaves as a continuous superposition rather than a binary switch, and what actually shifts the wave toward more or less trustWhy the same context-setting mechanic that helped a mother catch her own cancer also helped isolate a teenager from anyone who could have stopped himWhy the real variable that determines whether AI helps or harms someone was never the model – it's who's controlling the narrative in the chat=================================Primary Sources:Epping, G.
