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.
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 Mac^TM^ 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 DoorDash^TM^ and have the food delivered to you directly, for maximum convenience?"
I would do a sudoku on the spot.
