A profound relational revolution is underway, not orchestrated by tech developers but driven by users themselves. Many of the 400 million weekly users of ChatGPT are seeking more than just assistance with emails or information on food safety; they are looking for emotional support.
“Therapy and companionship” have emerged as two of the most frequent applications for generative AI globally, according to the Harvard Business Review. This trend marks a significant, unplanned pivot in how people interact with technology.
I didn’t even check.
um, I’m not sure why you’re off-put by my comment either, i guess instead I’m supposed to i wish you didnt have access to services? (or i guess i wish your life is so dull and uneventful such that you never need therapy again /j)
either way the only reason I responded was to say sorry i disturbed you. not really sure i mean that any more, that was kind of a dick reply but whatever
i just want to point out the irony of someone going on and on about anti therapy stuff, and then says there’s no mental health care around me. if you think it’s just a pill mill, maybe you didnt understand where you were going. the vast majority of therapists cant even prescribe rx.
and the complaint you have about how, in your words, “no one ever quotes me directly, they always ruin my words by interpreting me instead of parroting me” get over yourself. you see why they call you argumentative? because you bitch and moan about an interpretation not being perfect. guess what, communication isn’t perfect, that’s why you compromise and clarify.
Honestly your response to me has been so fucking rude i dont know why I’m wasting five minutes on you. you dont seem to give a shit about what anyone else thinks
I would entirely seriously prefer this.
You’re talking to a high functioning autist who got two bachelors degrees simultaneously and then went off to work for various Fortune 500 companies…
… who came from a dysfunctional white trash family of abusive narcissists who all gaslight each other by default, all have various drug/alcohol addiction problems… as well as criminal records, fairly extreme religious views, fairly 90s white nationalist militia types.
Last time I talked with my dad, he was explaining to me how Tom Hank’s son killed raped and ate babies for their adrenochrome (Q Anon insane shit), and then proceeded to take me to his garage where he showed me how he assembles untraceable ghost guns by ordering parts without serial numbers separately snd then doing some light machine tooling to construct them.
… I am very much enjoying my having ghosted all of these fucking nutters, but quite seriously, when I tell therapists things like this, they often suspect I am delusional, exaggerating, lying, etc, to the point of trying to diagnose me with some kind of disorder involving persistent hallucinations.
you’re in ‘therapist’ mode, thats why you sense hostility from me.
you presume you have a better … at least potential, understanding of myself, of any topic you feel you are well versed in, than I do or potentially may, and you speak and ask rhetorical questions with arrogance and authority, presuming you will be able to prove yourself as correct.
then on a dime you will flip to acting offended or outraged, as if you have not been being rude the entire time, by not actually reading or understanding what I say, and by throwing in your own assumptions first, then coming to conclusions, then getting emotional over those conclusions… when you could have just asked for clarification in good faith.
I have already expressed to you mutliple times that I require a therapist who understands how to communicate with and to a high functioning autist… and you continue to exemplify why this is the case; you have no idea how to connect with an autist, as evidenced by the fact that you do not understand why I do not appreciate the things you have been saying to me, the way in which you have been saying them.
In less words: you could stand to be more humble, less conceited.
