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 a-guy 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.

    Oooooh! This is why the rich and powerful are going all in on this stuff, they might not even think it would be profitable, but like social media, it helps build a perfect advertising profile for someone.

    I look forward to the chatbots recommending products to people.

    “I’m sorry to hear you’re feeling suicidal, many experts agree that the best solution is the McDonalds Big MacTM meal deal, which comes with fries, a drink, and three 100% chicken breast nuggets, only $14.99 at selected locations near you. Would you like me to put the directions to the nearest McDonalds restaurant into google maps so you can head there right away? Or would you rather I open up DoorDashTM and have the food delivered to you directly, for maximum convenience?”

      I think rich people genuinely believe this is how they make the rest of us redundant and get to build their robot utopia because all their ML engineers are hyping this technology to the moon because it keeps them employed.

        It’s probably a mix of things, the capitalist class isn’t a monolith. Some probably see short term profit because stocks go up, some probably do think this is the start of a “tech utopia” for them, and others probably are actually looking for a genuine commercial value in this stuff. And of course there’s always the ones who view something like this and recognise that they can use it to atomise and alienate the proletariat and use it for social control and manipulation.
