I think the real issue with AI is the amount of firepower it will give to already dangerous tech like social media algorithms

[TheGIGACapitalist]

I have found asking the AI to pretend to be a Taoist monk or my yoga teacher vastly improves the quality of answers it gives to me as the perspective it gives is not that of a system which seeks to push drugs and institutionalize people.

As a design fresh grad, AI really gives me anxiety 😂

[glorytoarstotzka]

the reason the 53th question does not work as well, isn't primarily because it took stuff from the internet and that it's surface level, it's because the AI physically has a token limit it can be fed, so it only remembers the recent part of your conversation, even if the history shows quite a lot

[Pepa]

For me i remember beign very angry with my best friend to the point of wanting to break our friendship and AI helped me to realise I needed to talk to her and explain to her my emotions, and also helped me to put my thoughts in order and in an assertive way. Now I can say I still have my best friend thanks to AI.

The other thing about going deep into a conversation is the AI can’t actually remember everything in your conversation, so it forgets a lot of the earlier context which would be important if it is leaning on psychology guidelines/books/evaluation quizzes in order to facilitate the conversation.

AI has already impacted the industry im going into and made me for a time consider switching majors. in the end i decided to go thru with finishing my major since i’m almost there but it does still worry me

[robomatt]

fine tuning an llm on better health transcripts will go a lot deeper than message board scrapes.

[MrSandManBringMeADream]

i think AI is 'terrifyingly' a good therapist. they may not give you good advise, but they feel they really are listening to you.

Dr K voicing his concern about his AI competition

[adgefreeman]

...Not only that but LLM's can't really remember that far back into a conversation so you have to keep it very short and concise. They aren't designed, At least not yet, to have very long and deep conversations necessary for such topics.

[mattrose]

Theres a reason I believe we shouldnt move forward with technology until we understand the value of humanities. Ofc a buissness school grad will be most concerned with profit, but a history grad probably studied some amount about labor reform and revolutions. Combining those two sets of wisdom makes for a far better outcome

[NH_HN]

I only give AI simple tasks like wording a bio or description. I can get it to do this in several different ways then pick one I like or merge a few together. I’m terrible at being descriptive with my facts so I find it useful.

[CodyPease]

As person with learning disabilities, I think ai is terrifying. This makes me want to live in the woods far from civilization. I doubt I would survive for long, but It has to better than this.

[justtest]

Problem is not so much in that original data from the internet is lacking or bad quality. It is question/answers pairs that teaches AI what is good and what is bad. And these may be made by people who had not gone into some topics too deep.

[MerSeaCafe]

Just wanna support you because I cannot donate to you but I can watch you, I have no therapist my family cannot afford therapy.

[andrewaboy]

I wake up with anxiety about AI replacing all human creativity and I cannot stop it.

It cripples me from finding purpose in my job or my hobbies.

Any advice Dr.K? Going to see a psychiatrist about this anxiety.

[BornOutOfTheAshes]

Well, you can use AI to support therapy. My Therapist told me that I actively have to work on reflecting the stuff from therapy each day and gain knowledge about such things as general types of fear and different character types and their traits as we only have a very limited amount of sessions covered by my health insurance. So I used AI to ping pong topics and broader issues from books with the AI and help me to get my thoughts going - not depending on AI for information but for topics or playing through hypothetical scenarios where we started to analyze the possible likely impact of several circumstances on ones stress level and possible frictions in their mental health caused by that. To me it have always been very interesting discussions as I don’t solely rely on it for deep talk or deep knowledge, but rather use it to support what I am already doing by myself.

[OceanWalk]

Why would I talk to an AI about my mental health? Of course big tech companies know me pretty well, but I don't have to hand them personal information on a silver plate.

[xaby]

So true. Deep into many ai convos they forget shit.
