A satirical Spring Boot application that helps organizations recover from “AI psychosis” - the overenthusiastic and reckless adoption of AI technologies.
How It Works
Run the diagnose command in the interactive shell to start a guided questionnaire. The application will:
- Intake: Collect symptoms across three categories (Delusion of Velocity, Hallucinatory Resource Planning, Reality Detachment)
- Diagnosis: Evaluate the stage of AI psychosis (Prodromal, Acute, or Residual)
- Recovery Planning: Generate a recovery strategy tailored to the affected discipline
- Diplomatic Communication: Produce a script to address the issue with leadership
Symptom Categories
| Category | Description |
|---|---|
| Delusion of Velocity | Obsession with AI-generated output metrics (PRs, lines of code) |
| Hallucinatory Resource Planning | Belief that AI replaces human expertise and capacity |
| Reality Detachment | Disconnection from actual costs, outcomes, and accountability |
Stages of AI Psychosis
| Stage | Description |
|---|---|
| Prodromal | Unusual interest, AI-first hype, mild detachment from reality |
| Acute | Hallucinations. Managers pushing AI code to prod without PRs |
| Residual | The crash. Tech debt, broken production, team burnout/cynicism |
