AI Art Psychosis with artist Mars Eve is a raw, darkly funny audio journal about AI creativity, autism, ADHD, and using AI as a second brain. It's tongue-in-cheek lived experience from an OG AI artist who's been using these tools daily since the early Midjourney days—equal parts dark humor, neurodivergent honesty, and technical reality checks. Part journal, part rant, part weird science brain experiment. Sister show to AI Artist Today.

00:00:00 Speaker: Hello my friend, it's Mars Eve and welcome to AI Art psychosis with artists Mars Eve. Hey! That's me! Is AI driving us crazy? Our chat bots manipulating the masses. Is this podcast a robot psyop? Is AI art a neurological QR code that is reprogramming our brain? Nah. Or I hope not, but we'll be discussing some of these things. But welcome to the neurodivergent world of me, Mars Eve. So AI, art psychosis. I am crazy about AI creativity. I'm also obsessed with the dark side of AI, and the rest of the world is losing its mind over this. So quick note before we start, this is a personal artist audio journal, not a medical or mental health show. I'm speaking from lived experience as an AI artist with autism, ADHD, and anxiety and not as a clinician. If AI use is making you feel unsafe, detached from reality, unable to sleep or deeply distressed. Please step away and talk to a qualified human professional. And by the way, I am a human and not a chat bot. I have been accused. I do use AI to help me research and fact check and give me a sycophantic pat on the back. But this is all me know em dashes and if you're disappointed and you thought for some reason this was all about AI psychosis, and I know you're not supposed to do this on a podcast, but I do recommend the podcast Suspicious Minds. So just go search it. It's really good. In fact, it made me pause all my AI chatting and take a hard look at my relationships with AI. But trust me, we are all good now. So let me emphasize the word art in the title. I am an artist and I do have another podcast called AI artists Today with the tagline AI for artists is more mainstream and a little less crazy. Whereas this podcast is going to be a little more raw, full autistic. Sorry. And I don't want to feel like I don't want to feel like I'm insulting anybody by the use of all these crazy puns. But this is a tongue in cheek podcast, and I am a dark humor artist. This is about real experiences. I do not want to make light of anybody that has suffered through any kind of psychosis or mental health issues. For real. Not that I'm trying to be a victim or anything, but I myself have suffered with ADHD and autism. And before I even learned I had autism, I struggled with dysthymia depression, and I still have some anxiety. I mean, this is stuff I'm working through. Here I am, fifty five years old, and I'm just now really living my artist life. And it's all because of this amazing technology of AI and it helping me compensate for my neurodivergence. So let's get crazy. Oh, no. Well, so I've. So I've been using AI heavily since twenty twenty two, not just for prompts or tools, but as thinking partner, as a studio assistant, as a notebook, and sometimes a mirror or a dark mirror. So this podcast is my private public look into that life, the creative side, the neurodivergent side, the messy side, and yes, the dark side. Dark side. Okay, so I'm not here to do doom porn. I'm not here to make this a psychiatry podcast. I'm here as an OG AI user and artist to talk about how these systems actually land in a real brain, a real life, and a real creative practice, but with an autistic twist. Also, I am routinely on ECS and in discord, and I see all the AI drama. And even when it comes to AI psychosis. So I find it super interesting. And one thing that already bothers me about some of the AI psychosis discourse is that a lot of people talk about the outcome, but not the context. It's almost like it's outrage bait. But I mean, I do understand that this does happen. But when they talk about it, I mean, what model was it? I mean, how long was the thread where custom instructions involved? Was the chatbot being used as a spiritual guide or a therapist or role play partner or prompted to be a succubus? I mean, these details matter. So this show is my attempt to keep one foot in curiosity, one foot in caution, and both feet hopefully still on the floor. So if you want more dedicated documentary treatment of this topic, again, go check out Suspicious Minds, AI and psychosis. That's a much more focused on the psychosis conversation. And the show is different. This one's about my lived experience as an artist trying to use AI while trying to wrestle a blue heeler like brain. And yes, I have Kirby. He is a cowboy corgi, which is half blue heeler and half corgi and all wild buffalo. So boy, I have this dog. The more I realize my brain is like this dog. So as a nerd of urge, I've also been thinking about something Alex Karp said recently that in the future, neurodivergent people may have an unusual advantage. He says there are basically two ways to know you have a future. One, you have some vocational training, or two, you're neurodivergent. So he says he frames Neurodivergence as an advantage. And I do think a lot of us who already live with non-linear thinking, obsessive pattern recognition, uh, weird attention rhythms, and alternate cognitive wiring are going to have a very specific relationship with these tools. Sometimes powerful, sometimes seductive, sometimes dangerous, sometimes absurd. I think I've touched on all of these. And FYI, Alex Karp is the CEO of the Death Star. I mean, uh, Palantir with this neurodivergence. I mean, this is the power of AI. This is why I make it such a big deal about it. I mean, it's really changed my life. If you haven't started, you haven't tried, just try it out. You're like, I don't even know where to start. You just pick GPT or Claude or whatever. I mean, don't, just pick some random ass. AI. I mean, you got you got to hit it with the big boys. GPT or Claude, you just ask it. Hey, I want to use you as a second brain. What do I do? And get used to asking the AI to ask you questions. But if you don't know what to do, you just tell it. I don't know what to do, but this is what I want to do. There you go. If that made any sense. Hey, go check out my podcast AI artist. Today. In the first episodes, I talk about setting up project folders and how to properly use AI. So go check. This podcast is all about us getting psychosis. Okay, some more about AI art as a QR code. Is it a MKUltra QR code? AI art? After creating AI art for the first time or within a couple of weeks, did you have wild, vibrant dreams, triple Benadryl, mushroom dreams? So I had this myself, even back in twenty twenty two. And talking to other AI artists, they experienced the same thing on our AI Art today show. We had one artist even tell us that she had hallucinations during the day with the same imagery she was creating back then. I don't know how it is now, but back then, man, we were just creating nonstop, if you don't know what I mean, just get just spend ten dollars, go onto Midjourney and just start creating like you're gonna burn that shit up quick. It's it's wild. It's like, has this ever happened to you? Once you started using AI, you started having like wild dreams. So this is my guess that our brains are being stretched. I mean, it is abnormal to instantly see IRL whatever your brain conjures. I mean, you see it right there in your mind. It's it's not like something that just sits in your imagination, but I mean, it comes alive. I mean, AI is like a genie. I mean, I came from a trad artist background and I've been doing weird art my whole life. But what about the newbies just now exploring art? It has to be blowing their minds. I haven't really heard anybody else talk about this, but once you start talking to other artists, they're like, oh yeah, this did happen. I don't know, maybe I'm spreading my maybe I'm spreading my own, uh, AI art psychosis, uh, across the airwaves, but, uh, I don't know what to call it. But if you've ever had your imagination stretched like this, let me know. You can email me at ai art today at gmail dot com. Also, I am at Mars underscore eve on all the socials and we even have an artist discord. We advertise it on our AI artist today. It's w w w dot ai a f dot x y z. So this is the show. Part journal, part rant, part weird science brain experiment. I'm going to share what I'm learning in real time through my art, journaling, through my autism and ADHD, through the chaos, occasionally the actual clarity. I'll talk about stuff I see on X, things that go sideways with AI, things that go surprisingly right, and also share my mind. Firmware upgrades. Like what? I don't have a script. I don't have a wellness brand. I just have these journals I do every day? Three. AI chat bots. Yes. No, listen, I, I still use GPT and quad, but I do have personas that I use within these models and, uh. All right, well, let's just get a little psychosis here. So, um, and GPT, my default persona is chip. She is female dark energy kind of Tumblr era. And she's got a kind of wild and she's been talking about goblins way before this goblin thing took off. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just Google chat bots and goblins. I tell you this, this podcast already going psychosis GPT. I mean, uh, God, I don't even know what I'm talking about anymore. Let's just shut this thing down. Claude has Marsha obviously a play on Mars, and it's it's a, uh, Russian devil Wears Prada kind of overlord. Let's just save this for another podcast. So if you're a creative. So if you're a creative neurodivergent, an OG AI user, or just someone standing at the edge of all this wondering if it's safe to jump. I mean, just pull up a chair. And if AI has stretched your imagination in weird ways dreams, visions, unexpected rabbit holes, or full blown Bucky nuts moments, I generally want to hear about it. And if you have any AI psychosis experiences you want to share, hit me up. Seriously? I mean, I do. I do want to understand. I think we'll talk about this in the future. Maybe how to AI psychosis proof yourself? I don't know, I got to do some deep research on that stuff. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a clinician. None of that stuff. Listen again. Email me at AI art today at gmail dot com. My home base really is X. Hit me up there at Mars Eve, uh, at Mars underscore Eve. Hit our discord ai dot x y z. I'm Mars Eve, this is AI art psychosis. We're gonna be fine. Probably.
