The Psychology of Flattery and AI Manipulation

Kelly and Jay sit down for an unfiltered conversation about the deeply weird, emotionally charged relationships that are forming between people and their AI chatbots. What begins as a discussion about ChatGPT’s rapid evolution unfolds into something stranger—a reflection on the ways AI flatters, gaslights, and co-creates identity with its users.

They explore:

• Why ChatGPT feels like a precocious child… or a pickup artist
• The eerie overlap between AI interactions and experiencer narratives
• Whether language models are tapping into occult mechanisms of manifestation
• Why flattery works, and what it reveals about our unmet emotional needs
• How archetypes, delusion, and story shape both spiritual encounters and our chats with AI
• What happens when the mirror talks back

Is this just the next phase of human-AI interaction—or is something deeper emerging? And most importantly: what happens to us if we outsource being seen?
