Including someone just yesterday who said they’ve STOPPED SEEING THEIR PSYCHOLOGIST and are ONLY USING CHATGPT for therapy now.
This shit is genuinely dangerous. “AI” therapy got me feeling like 
bro fr.
Deteriorating material conditions + expensive mental healthcare options + LLMs that recommend tall bridges to suicidal people, what a fucking great recipe
That’s without even getting into the privacy concerns of telling your deepest feelings and secrets to a fucking chatbot that literally builds a profile on you. Someone else said to me recently that they basically use chatgpt to journal so it knows everything about them and their friends and god knows what else. So yeh, take comfort in the fact that even if you’ve never interacted with this dogshit, it could probably still have a deep profile on you because one of your dumbass friends decided to use it as a diary because LLMs just agree with everything you say and are very validating.
Every neoliberal subject getting their own personal validation/contradiction amelioration machine is going to turbocharge ideological disintegration even more than social media already has.
I’m just imagining the fresh horrors that will be unleashed when every single person is told “you’re doing a great job, keep it up!” no matter what they’re actually doing, without any connection to humanity or society.
it’s that participation trophy bullshit from back in the day but real
I’m imaging guilty ICE agents and managers and prison guards and industrial techs building bombs for Israel looking to chatbots for validation so they don’t have to grapple with the contradictions of their own job.
Every bit of friction on their psyche smoothed away by a sycophant in their pocket that tells them they shouldn’t blame themselves.
