I find this bleak in ways it’s hard to even convey
A human therapist might not or is less likely to share any personal details about your conversations with anyone.
An AI therapist will collate, collect, catalog, store and share every single personal detail about you with the company that owns the AI and share and sell all your data to the highest bidder.
the AI therapist probably can’t force you into a psych ward though, a human psychologist is obligated to (under the right conditions).
Who says that’s not coming in the next paid service based on this great idea for chatbots to provide therapy to the abused masses.
Other people: my outlook is so bad I turned to religion to feel better
You: EW GROSS DON’T DO THAT
Other people: ok then I’ll turn to technology instead
You: EW GROSS DON’T DO THAT
You are shocked a community of anti-authoritarians would be against either fantasy telling them what to do?
I’m shocked at the hypocrisy. When the community of anti-authoritarians tells people which tools they can and cannot use, they are being authoritarian. That’s why I posted the comment showing hypocritical behavior. Did you really need that explained?
Not one of the downvotes. Just pointing out the flaw in your plan.
Trust me I am aware that everyone is a hypocrite. We are all liars and those that deny it the most just refuse to face it in themselves.
I will say it’s not authoritarian to point out the real and legitimate concerns and issues on this and hopefully guide people to not use such a detrimental patch for other issues and hopefully you can see the difference in the 2 or else you become a hypocrite as well. Its a fine line for sure between real and controlling and most miss the mark. But the person that said they want this banned to protect poor countries is hilariously in your comment.
Downvotes are disabled on my instance. I don’t see any except for your comment.
“It’s not authoritarian to point out real and legitimate concerns” is correct, but I did not argue that point. What you have done is create a straw man, a weak argument which can easily be beaten and then defeated. You are claiming that I hold the straw man argument. I do not.
My argument is that defending the criticism of chat GPT (or religion) to validate one’s beliefs is hypocritical. These two things are different. Sorry but if you lack the rhetoric to debate this point then I have no interest in responding.
Have a day
No I was just having a conversation.
Sorry instead of the downvotes I guess I should have said why you are being ignored though it seems you don’t want to interact with anyone just tell them they are wrong.
No pleasantries in my goodbye right back at you.
