It's Not You It's AI

  I do like the site, I just kind of wish that if they’re going to say “stop using AI for therapy” that they would actually go in depth as to what alternative resources (communities with others with similar difficulties, “just tell the therapist”, etc.) are there and why they’re better

  I doubt someone using AI for this (especially someone in a state of psychosis) is going to follow the link, see that they’re just saying “AI bad, need regulation”, and change, most they’d probably do is shrug and keep using

    There are no alternatives. Therapy is expensive and, on top of it, there are a lot of bad therapists. No one is going to do it for free, apparently therapists need $250+ an hour. So here we are.

      Yep, It was DIY Ai therapy or another decade of drinking alone and wanting to die.

    I’ve used AI for therapy, where it was the best therapist I’ve had, and even I still think it needs to be less pervasive in society

  The main reason would be that an LLM is free and in your pocket. It’s just some people don’t understand how loud those two alarm bells are when it comes to mental health.

    A local AI won’t 5051 you. Some people don’t know trauma many therapists won’t touch.

      Actually this is an interesting question. Do local AIs not have or use agentic tools or access to the internet? I assume there are local AIs you can give access to the internet, in order to look up answers to your questions. In which case they absolutely could report you via any kind of online reporting tool that is available on wherever police website or hospital website. Whether the police or hospital accept that report and follow through is another matter. But if it can be done on the Internet, an AI can do it.

  Tbh therapists keep your data and are obligated to give them to authorities or report you if you act too silly.

  You can lobotimize a local LLM to say and act as you please. It’s not better than a therapist, but it’s more private than one.

    An example of an appropriate check and balance. If you are planning to hurt yourself or others, an LLM can’t do anything to help you but a therapist can. It’s not if you’re acting “silly”.

    Don’t think most people who are using llms for therapy are using local.

    And they didn’t stop to question what they’re doing?

    Judging the ethics of these requests, though, was beyond the contractors’ remit. Their job, per the reporting, was purely to evaluate how well the Copilot AI fulfilled a prompt, such as whether it enlarged a woman’s breasts enough.

      They’re just tiny cogwheels in the machinery. If a specific person doesn’t do the job, there will be somebody else. And the outcome will be the same. Not sure how accurate the article is. They’re missing a lot of interesting information but it’s often people in less privileged countries.

      We also happen to know from OpenAI court cases how their systems flag users who drift into AI induced psychosis. And the company also decided to not intervene.

  In what metro area do trains have faux wood panel walls? This is like the 1970s mobile home of public transit.

    This reminded me a train I took from Philadelphia to Atlantic City.

  This sort of thing is a lot better suited to a local AI, it isn’t going to suddenly become publicly accessible because a big corporation “accidentally” shared all your data.

  Is it AI drift because it’s dangerous driving the economy into a hole?

  Look, AI has problems but this website reminds me of how schizophrenic people write.

  Sadly the web site does not work on my phone.
