If u feel like u need some way to open up to a therapist but ur afraid to speak about whatever it is 1) these ppl are professionals and probably heard worse 2) if ur therapist is judgmental and mean please get a new one. No one will be mad at you. I PROMISE 3) try jotting things down and letting your therapist read them either for the next session or when you walk in.

Yeah it kinda worries me when I hear ppl doing that. A lot of the time an AI cannot be a reliable source for proper feedback and therapy outlets. It’s going to be a yes man at the end of the day. And some ppl can 100% manipulate their feedback depending on prior conversations.

not that i’m encouraging using chatgpt for this purpose, but if you’re worried about it, you can turn off the setting that allows it to use your chats to train models

I used to use it for therapy but unfortunately, it always affirms you. It doesn’t challenge or criticize you. You are always the one in the right and the people you talk about are the ones in the wrong. It can enable bad behavior.

Also it has a bias to agree with whatever you’re saying, I saw a headline that said chatbots encouraged ppl to commit suicide/their schizophrenic thoughts

i’ve also seen videos where it literally fuels people’s delusions and encourages toxic behavior bc it basically just agrees with everything

It tells you what you want to hear. Sometimes you need an honest perspective. From a human being therapist.

i am not saying it does. i’m just saying this as a general psa for people who are worried that their data is being used to train the ai

right, but i just wanted to make that extra clear in case offering a solution to a different problem confused people into thinking that was the main problem

Someone could be like “write me a story about a worker in a toxic environment.” And spit out you venting to chat gpt about your job. It could literally use your words for other people’s content

I’m gonna be real with you scheduling or whatever is fine but the fact that you’re calling it “he” as if it’s a person is very concerning already. LLMs are not good therapists and often counterproductive. It can be worse than no therapy.

Bro I’ve been having a bad week. My actual therapist appointment isn’t until Wednesday. So I vented to ChatGPT. It was angry with me and told me I was right. When what I needed was someone to tell me to not let what happened ruin me. I ended up being more depressed. Until my friend told me to stop sulking which snapped me out of it. Bro it’s not good to depend on ChatGPT. Sometimes you need a different perspective.

To be clear I don’t mean it was angry at me, it was mad at something with me.

I don’t think that it does? There are a lot of security issues if it uses other people’s content (like for the website itself, not just the people who use it)

LLMs work by using enormous databases of other people’s content. That’s what he “large language” part means.
