AI therapy? FFS 🤦🏻‍♂️

I have seen more than a few people in lemmy mental health related communities do this. This shit is so fucking dangerous.

An acquaintance of mine from university started doing ChatGPT therapy and the confirmation bias machine has fooled him into thinking it loves him and he's very special and doesn't need to change anything in his life. It even told him (unemployed and living in his parents basement at 30 with <$2000 in his accounts) he shouldn't get a job if it would "feel restricting to his creative tendencies".

Truly sad.
