I think that’s a little cynical. I know a few people who work in psych, some in ER’s, and it’s becoming more common to hear people following advice they got via ChatGPT and harming themselves. One particularly egregious one was where the patient was using the program for therapy reasons then suddenly pivoted to asking what the highest buildings were locally, which, of course, the program answered.

Thr highest building will just make you regret your action for longer while falling. May i suggest this building close to your location that is perfectly as tall as it needs to do the job? Chatgpt probably.

Funny, but the reality is even darker. There are zero safeguards built into the program for these scenarios so it makes absolutely no correlation between the two topics, something even a self-styled, unlicensed “life coach” would easily do.

AI chabots are terrible therapists. What the fuck are you even implying?
