you can avoid doing the work with therapy too, no one knows the “correct” answers, it also has information on actual therapeutic techniques/strategies or information on common symptoms of any given diagnoses

you know what i meant, and no, it does not weigh clinically valid information at any higher priority than the rest of the random shit people say on the internet, so that’s going to be outranked.

i don’t think that’s true- it does have to be developed both by users and the companies developing it so irrelevant material gets filtered out over time. like are u proposing that it literally knows nothing of value?

no i’m telling you as someone with a degree in computer engineering in grad school for a second that its data munging processes don’t use weightings like a person with critical thinking would, so technically correct or clinically valid sources have the same individual weight as the million and a half people on social media who have no idea what they’re talking about, and by sheer volume they get outweighed.

some of this shit there’s definitely more on the internet from clinical sources than anything tbh. i don’t think people on social media have as much to say about something like idk dialectical behavioral therapy than clinical professionals would

Definitely be careful with it because its primary goal is to please the user, so you’ll get wrapped up in confirmation bias if you’re not careful. Prompt it to play devil’s advocate occasionally and of course think critically about your conversations with it before acting on them. And never feed it PII even if you have the “use for training” setting turned off.

that’s not true, and also it obviously doesn’t have access beyond paywalls so it would exclude most clinical data

something like basic dbt techniques often isn’t gonna need paywalls because it’s more like general knowledge within the field. if i ask for data on effectiveness of different techniques sure but the techniques itself i think it’s got

Do you also say that to people teaching their grandparents how to use a smartphone? I’m teaching someone to use a technology. It’s not a medical technology. It’s very much in my expertise. If they want to use it for medical stuff, that’s on them. It’s a tool like any other. People are gonna use how they want to. I’ll provide safety tips thanks.
