I know it’s not even close there yet. It can tell you to kill yourself or to kill a president. But what about when I finish school in like 7 years? Who would pay for a therapist or a psychologist when you can ask for help a floating head on your computer?

You might think this is a stupid and irrational question. “There is no way AI will do psychology well, ever.” But I think in today’s day and age it’s pretty fair to ask when you are deciding about your future.

    homie lemme let you in on a secret that shouldn’t be secret

    in therapy, 40% of positive client outcomes come from external factors changing

    10% come from my efforts

    10% come from their efforts

    and the last 40% comes from the therapeutic alliance itself

    people heal through the relationship they have with their counselor

    not a fucking machine

    this field ain’t going anywhere, not any time soon. not until we have fully sentient general ai with human rights and shit
