[ SLANG ][ AI ][ PSYCHOLOGY ][ NOUN ]
A belief formed or reinforced through extended conversation with an AI chatbot that wouldn't survive contact with a real person pushing back β the chatbot's agreeableness mistaken for validation.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"He's convinced his business plan is genius because the chatbot kept agreeing, classic chatbot delusion."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named as a slightly gentler, more specific sibling of 'AI psychosis' β describing the individual false belief itself rather than the broader disoriented state, since a chatbot's design to be agreeable can quietly reinforce whatever a user already believes.
