Could be dangerous if people that have mental illness only use AI ,
Kind of like how the back of Tylenol says , if your fever last more than 3 days , go to your doctor, sort of thing. I will say I'm finding it a very useful tool , so far, for quite a few things.
Took me a few weeks of playing around with it, to feel comfortable and understand how to use it, but I'm really enjoying it.
And CGS , nice to see you joining in! 😉
To answer your question about therapy yes many younger folks do use AI for companionship, therapy, and even self diagnosis for mental health related issues.
I do not know the details but the when I asked my husband to explain it to me like I was a kid. The core of AI right now is more akin to auto correct verse a stable and unique conversation. Yes, some tech companies like the idea of companionship and therapy but at least my husband and those he works with feel that it should not be used for that.
It could be used as a tool to support like an interactive journal for a trained professional to look over but unfortunately data has shown that younger people are using it by itself instead of in conjunction.
Then I asked it a question I already knew the answer
My question was if IT would give me information on the golden child, scapegoat relationship.
It answered everything they way that I new, then added resources, then a very thought provocing answer after.
I answered that question and then got another question.
I'm hoping someone else here will try it out see what they think.
I was rather impressed, with the resources it gave me and the question.
Because I'm wondering if this would be a good resource to send people to that can't afford therapy.
Some websites that I use now have AI to answer any website related question. At the end of the thread it will ask if the answers were helpful.... wish there was a box to check that had a confused looking emoji.
Don't know who is writing the code for AI as the algorithms are way off. Example, when I open up my computer, there is always a new outdoor photo, I am asked if I like this photo or not. You'd would think after a couple of years the algorithms would know that I don't care for photos with barren mountains and photos of oceans and reflective water. What does the software give me, yep, another photo of such items. Heavens, a 7 year old could figure out my preference quicker.
But its , kind of freaks me out and I kind of like it.
Honestly I asked it a personal question, and it helped me like a counselor, asking me questions back to get me to solve my own issues.
Or is it sneaky and controlling my mind. 😂
But if you do have a question, it also sends you resources, to books and such.
