Record numbers of people are turning to AI chatbots for therapy, reports Anthony Cuthbertson. But recent incidents have uncovered some deeply worrying blindspots of a technology out of control
Lmao, I never said I’ve never touched AI I just don’t use it for anything because it doesn’t do anything useful for me.
Yes, delusional content on Google is also a problem. But you have to understand how delusional content tailored uniquely to the individual fed to them by a sycophantic chatbot is several times more dangerous.
Oh, well that explains everything, you are using it wrong.
A lot of people think that you’re supposed to argue with it and talk about things that are subjective or opinion based. But that’s ridiculous because it’s a computer program.
ChatGPT and others like it are calculators. They help you brainstorm problems. Ultimately, you are responsible for the outcome.
There’s a phrase I like to use at work when junior developers complain the outcome is not how they wanted it: shit in shit out.
So next time you use AI, perhaps consider are you feeding it shit? Because if you’re getting it, you are.

Again, I’m not fucking using it.
I played with it when it was new but it doesn’t do anything useful, I’m perfectly capable of brainstorming on my own.
Back to the topic at hand, do you not see how helping someone brainstorm their delusions with a sycophantic chatbot could be dangerous?
