ok.

but the problem is that real therapy is expensive, and unaccessible, while AI is freely accessible, even though it’s shit.

and open ai is profiting from that.

I’m just saying the blame should be aimed at the corporations and the healthcare system, rather than someone who is desperate for help

marketing, basically an ad, and also helps them gage if there’s public interest

Neither is mutually exclusive, but most likely, both of those.

they need therapy, obviously they need help, and blaming them for not doing the most reasonable thing that might be unaffordable is even stupider.

blame predatory AI, openai could in a single afternoon make it so Chatgpt recomends or even helps you find a local therapist, instead of enabling this for profit.

that’s easy to say, but when someone is in a crisis, I would be wrong to judge then for talking to an AI (shitty terrible solution) instead of a therapist that can be unaffordable and also comes with a risk of then being terrible.
