After a week of following Kendra, a woman on TikTok who claims to be in love with her psychiatrist, reading the New York Times piece about a man who wound up institutionalized after ONE MONTH of using a chatbot, and ChatGPT's 5o update, Molly can't get A.I. Psychosis.

Rob just watched 2002's Auto Focus, a dramatized movie about Hogan's Heroes star Bob Crane and his sick little adventures with a camera dealer that resulted in his death.
