    It’s not better than nothing - it’s worse than nothing. It is actively harmful, feeding psychosis, and your chat history will be sold at some point.

    Try this, instead of asking “I am thinking xyz”, ask " my friend thinks xyz, and I believe it to be wrong". And marvel at how it will tell you the exact opposite.

      I’m fairly confident that this could be solved by better trained and configured chatbots. Maybe as a supplementary device between in-person therapy sessions, too.

      I’m also very confident that there’ll be lot of harm done until we get to that point. And probably after (for the sake of maximizing profits) unless there’s a ton of regulation and oversight.
