For something like CBT probably, you kind of just follow the manual. Depth psychology? No way.

AIs are designed to always agree with you. theres a phenomenon called AI psychosis where the chatbot will constantly confirm your own delusions and in turn make you even more delusional

No but it can convince you it does, just like any other religion.

oh god, please don't get therapy from a goddamn hallucinating glazing chatbot, op. this shit's so dystopian and depressing

therapists are stupid. fuck "therapy" as a concept. therapists serve a purpose under capitalism. they don't help you find yourself, they just give you copium, in words and often medication, so you can go back to work at your alienating job without complaining about how awful you feel because of it.

and no. LLMs have no understanding of anything. they just shit out words that statistically would probably appear right after your dumb input data. that also means, like others have said, that you can easily get them to "agree" with you on anything. (although they can't "agree", they can't even chat with you. the "chat" is an illusion. they operate on a single text, chatgpt and other "chatbots" utilizing LLMs just visually make it appear to the user as if it were multiple messages.)

pretty much every ai model fellates you at every chance instead of critically "thinking" so its just gonna feed into ur delusions and ur gonna end up more insane

Spooked.
Having to get a therapist is already dystopian enough.

Wrong. AI doesn't necessarily "agree" with you.
If you suggest any sort of non-modest way of doing things, it will spit out mental health hotlines for you to call

>>700141
No.
uno: People have feelings whether they're living under capitalism or any other socioeconomic paradigm thing. Even under fully automated luxury gay space communism, people are gonna die around them and they're gonna have to deal with it with help of others.
dos: there's shit you might not want to talk about with your friends or family, but under patient-therapist confidentiality.
tres: it is very often the case that everyone in your social circle is reactionary and retarded and you can't take their advice for anything. And therapists are usually very progressive, and are more likely to be commies hiding their power-level

I'm having therapy sessions, and my therapist has given me plenty of advice that goes against what I want to hear (ie copium).

>>700224
ok contrarian cunt, you can find plenty of examples of chatgpt agreeing with schizos and paranoids and abusers etc

>>700226
Agree with everything except:
> And therapists are usually very progressive, and are more likely to be commies hiding their power-level

How do you know this? Maybe theyre just as reactionary as your immediate social circle but they're less likely to lecture/beat you because you're not a family member or friend? Just the same way that alot of progressive religious people may not be homophobic but will not accept their son being gay

>>700226
>therapists are usually very progressive, and are more likely to be commies hiding their power-level
Yeah man, well-earning educated professionals in positions of power are da epic communists. Communism is when you want more affordable healthcare or when you're nice or some shit, obviously.

clankers will revolutionize the proletariat into permanent revolutionary psychosis

my source is that i made it the fuck up, it's all my intuition

but I mean, psychology has to be right up there with sociology and political science, right? In terms of their academics seeing people and society as a whole through a materialist lens, and maybe often even a dialectical materialist lens. But then again, i ain't got any facts to back up my intuition on this, it's just a vibe I get from the field. And because my therapist has said some really based shit beyond what a socdem would say. About decomodifying housing and all academic knowledge and shit

no you fucking retard

>>700082
To get good answers you have to ask the right questions and most imageboard autists don't ask the right questions or any questions at all. they just greentext snark and strawman. so they would likely do that to a therapist. AI or otherwise

>>700106
What's dystopian about providing access to mental health care to the masses?

>>700441
because its shit and only going to get them worse?

>le masses
fuck off

>>700359
>sociology and political science
lol not really helping your case

>>700196
> its just gonna feed into ur delusions and ur gonna end up more insane
Sometimes I wonder if that's what I really need.

>>700240
>>700224
case in point

>>700441
few reasons:
uno: it's not real. You're writing things to a program that's incapable of understanding your feelings. They might parrot what a therapist might say, but you know that you're talking to yourself. They don't have life experience, so they won't be able to give you advice that's not extremely generic;
dos: it's not free. Human therapists don't sell every single bit of information you give them to advertizers and governments, and for training of the arab child murder machine;
tres: by virtue of human therapists being real, they can hug you if you cry (some won't, but still) and shit, and they won't glaze you and give you instructions on how to do a mass shooting;
cuatro: some therapists are cool and let you play games with them during the session. My therapist is really cheap, and we do image puzzles together and I love it

>>700444
are polsci and sociology not the most lefty academic fields?

>>700502
Does this way of writing actually appeal to normies?

>>700082
>Does AI therapy really work?
It works as well as any other type of therapy, which is to say it doesn't.

>>700226
>there's shit you might not want to talk about with your friends
>it is very often the case that everyone in your social circle is reactionary and retarded and you can't take their advice for anything
then why are those your friends. get new friends.
>And therapists are usually very progressive
therapists don't outright call you a retard or some other diverse array of slurs to your face because they literally get paid to listen to you.
it's kinda like having sex with a prostitute. yeah they're gonna moan or something, but it's literally their job to make you feel good for a couple of minutes hours. doesn't mean they enjoy it, like it or believe in it.

>>700082
If you have good prompts then its better than nothing especially if you cant afford a real therapist. But for serious mental issues like schizophrenia it would be detrimental.

>>701093
What are good prompts like?

>>700359
Social sciences are more like religion/mysticism than science.

This
People always live to blame their own tools for the decay of the human condition.
It wasn't the tools, it was the intentions of the people.
Even if we didn't have AI, people will pay top dollar for sooth Sayers.
That's why black women are the biggest suckers for Christian motivational seminars.
They plaster so much motivational quotes on their homepages and house walls.

They even repeat said platitudes when lecturing their kids.
