Comment on Men are opening up about mental health to AI instead of humans

  Of course men will go to an AI for their problems, they can’t fathom going to a woman for honest advice.

  This seems a bit far-fetched, don’t you think? There could be so many reasons as to why someone would rather use AI than going to another person for advice (this is not just about women).

  Honestly, as someone who actually went to therapy and yes, my therapist was a woman. It’s was quite tough to open up and be vulnerable.

  I think for some people using AI, they might feel as if they’re not that vulnerable because it is not a person. However, they don’t realize that there’s data is being gathered.

  And as a result, they gaslight themselves with a worse version of ELIZA.

  With this, I can’t figure out whether you’re serious, trolling or just writing randomly.

  Honest advice may not be good advice. I could tell a person “go kill yourself”, and be VERY honest about it. Yet it’s not good advice, now is it?
