Comment on Why We Need An Anti-AI Movement Too
bigbluealien@kbin.social 1 year agoI'm not going to disagree with anything here but
"Sure, they may not be as good as human therapists. But something is definitely better than nothing, no?"
Please do not use an LLM as a therapist, something can definitly be worse than nothing. I use GitHub Copilot everyday for work, it helps me do what I want to do but I have to understand what it's doing and when it's wrong, which it often is. The point of a therapist is to help you through things you don't understand, one day it might work, not today.

What if I’m suicidal (I’m not, dw)? When I don’t have anyone to talk to, why is talking to an LLM bad? Mental health therapists are fkin expensive. I did use an LLM when I was feeling down. It was absolutely wonderful! Worked for me perfectly!
Now, imagine if we fine-tune this for this specific purpose. U’ve got a very effective system (at least for those without access to shrinks). Consider ppl from developing countries. Isn’t it a good thing if LLMs can be there for ppl n make them feel just a little better?
