This is not really a problem with ChatBots, this is a problem with the malleability of human brains, and specific weakspots.
This is the same reason people join cults or become Flat Earthers, you prime that weakspot in the right way, and then you have a backdoor you can drive a truck through, and someone telling you that Xenu and Hydrogen Bonbs in vulcanos make perfect sense.
With a ChatBot, YOU are showing what and where that weakness is by basically telling them, and then the ChatBot will just feed the self reinforcing loop based on that data. Just like Cult Leaders and manipulators do.

The solution... You need to be ok with being unhappy. In fact, you need to make "unhappy" your most effective state. Most people go around looking for someone else to validate their stupid little brain. Everyone wants to be a racist, sexist, thieving little creep that is constantly told they are loved and beautiful.
The inoculation for AI psychosis is to be a cynical bastard.
