I mean, those of us who are lonely, those of us who struggle with mental health and have cognitive disabilities

Recently, one of my friends asked us about what we think of an AI therapy. And during this discussion we found out that she's been using chat gpt to help herself through the loneliness and depression

And I can't blame her for that. She's been struggling with chronic depression for years, at this point it's understandable why she wants to try everything that promises help

But I can't look over the fact, that LLM's are absolute dogshit at therapy – they are made to side with you, they can't analyze body language, they are made to keep you engaged and would never make you uncomfortable on purpose, they are posing a massive risk for all of your sensitive data safety

And I can't blame her for turning to chat gpt because I know that during my lonely and depressed years I would do the same

She tried to make excuses like "ai is well integrated into our society and I'm just going to use it to my advantage, while understanding the risks" and I could tell that it is not much of her own opinion but something from internet influencers, with all the grand comparisons to other crucial technology and lack of real life examples

I hate how I'm addicted to screens and feeling like I can't do ANYTHING about it since the real world feels 'boring'.

I hate how if you give me the sign I upset my friends even SLIGHTLY I wanna kms.
