Including someone just yesterday who said they’ve STOPPED SEEING THEIR PSYCHOLOGIST and are ONLY USING CHATGPT for therapy now.
This shit is genuinely dangerous. “AI” therapy got me feeling like 
bro fr.
Deteriorating material conditions + expensive mental healthcare options + LLMs that recommend tall bridges to suicidal people, what a fucking great recipe
That’s without even getting into the privacy concerns of telling your deepest feelings and secrets to a fucking chatbot that literally builds a profile on you. Someone else said to me recently that they basically use chatgpt to journal so it knows everything about them and their friends and god knows what else. So yeh, take comfort in the fact that even if you’ve never interacted with this dogshit, it could probably still have a deep profile on you because one of your dumbass friends decided to use it as a diary because LLMs just agree with everything you say and are very validating.
Posts like this continue to make me glad that I haven’t left my rural town. I’ve met like two people who’ve used AI excessively and both were weird tech bros from the city.
I mean this is kinda a weird viewpoint. I've lived in a huge city for many many years, and sure I know lots of people who use AI for dumb shit, but I also know tons of people who don't. Cities are full of quite literally all kinds. So of course those kinds of weirdos are here, every kind of weirdo is here. There's nothing inherently more pro social about living in a small rural town with a few thousand people than in a city surrounded by a million other people
