phew, that's a healthy start.
I am still slightly worried about accepting emotional support from a bot. I don't know if that slope is slippery enough to end in some permanent damage to my relationships and I am honestly not willing to try it at all even.
That being said, I am fairly healthy in this regard. I can't imagine how it would go for other people with serious problems.
- j-pb 11mo agoI completely agree that it is certainly something to be mindful of. It's just that found the people from there were a lot less delusional than the people from e.g. r/artificialsentience, which always believed that AI Moses was giving them some kind of tech revelation though magical alchemical AI symbols.

- Quarrelsome 11mo agoall humans want sometimes, is to be told that what they're feeling is real or not. A sense of validation. It doesn't necessarily matter that much if its an actual person doing it or not.
- jdub 11mo agoYes, it really, truly does. It's especially helpful if that person has some human experience, or even better, up-to-date training in the study of human psychology. An LLM chat bot has no agency, understanding, empathy, accountability, etc. etc.
