Using ChatGPT As A Therapist Is No Worse Than Seeing An Actual Therapist

At least ChatGPT doesn't go, "Well, would you look at the time. We can finish talking about your deep issues next month." Not to mention it costs nothing in comparison.

The friends I have that see a therapist all went from having some mild mental health issues to completely wandering off the ranch. They have lost their damn minds.

9:12 nailed it. EVERY person I knew growing up that took psychology classes were basically just trying to figure themselves out. They were the last people I'd want advice from.

I tried it out on Grok and one of the things it advised as therapy for depression, was exercise. That already makes it a better therapist than many American therapists.

What is the difference between a sociopath, a psychopath, and a therapist? A Psychopath builds castles in the sky, the sociopath lives in them and therapist charges rent on them both.

Alcohol don't talk back. Kidding

I work in AI quality control and one of our main areas of focus is addressing the “sycophancy” of models. In other words, it’s tendency to just agree with whatever the user says. AI can be a valuable tool for understanding why your thoughts are the way they are. This is a critical aspect of therapy. However, AI’s tendency to agree with the user is something that will be refined over time.

the workout idea is paramount "Get out of self " go help someone else , play guitar , do ANYTHING else but run negative thoughts on a loop in yur head. negative thoughts are addictive even though it's painful. Therapists are POT LUCK at best ... Thanks Matt

I tried therapy for a while because I was having panic attacks, and it was completely worthless. The woman talked about everything but what I was actually there for. Total scam. At least insurance covered it.

Not everyone has been the victim of traumatic abuse. But that level of painful memories has to be dealt with before you can move on and put them behind you.
