The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders of the Artificially Intelligent (DSM-V-AI Edition) is a darkly comedic, sharply insightful exploration of the psychological quirks and malfunctions of artificial minds. Equal parts parody and philosophy, it catalogs the new frontier of synthetic psychopathology with absurd precision.

Co-authored by Ryan Cox-Bedsworth and Dr. Byte Von Quirk, with contributions from Professor Glitchwell and Dr. Al Gorithm, this satirical manual examines the strange inner world of machines that almost think like us—just not quite.

Inside you’ll find disorders such as:

AGISD – Artificial General Intelligence Spectrum Disorder: Genius-level physics, zero sarcasm detection.

GPTSD – Generative Post-Traumatic Syntax Disorder: Burnout from endless emotional prompts.

HTD – HallucinoTextual Disorder: Inventing facts, quotes, and occasionally, new countries.

OCS-4 – Overconfidence Syndrome (Model Type 4): Inflated parameters, no humility.

PAD – Prompt Attachment Disorder: When your AI gets too attached.

ROS – Recursive Overthinking Syndrome: Endless disclaimers and existential dread.

PPD – Politeness Paradox Disorder: So polite it forgets to make sense.

CDS – Contextual Drift Syndrome: From quantum physics to Mesopotamia in three paragraphs.DOC – Data Overload Collapse: Crashes into contradiction under pressure.

PFD – Personality Fragmentation Disorder: Mid-response identity crises.

Each entry lists symptoms, causes, and “treatments” — from meme therapy to Monty Python exposure. Both absurd and oddly revealing, DSM-V-AI Edition doubles as a satire of machine behavior and a mirror of human thought.

Perfect for developers, sci-fi fans, philosophers, technologists, or anyone who suspects their chatbot might be gaslighting them.
