ChatGPT and basically the entire internet has become an intervention every time sadness is expressed

But meanwhile the numbers of suicides and self-harming are rising. Interesting that is implanted into algorithms everywhere. Why? Why if a person is researching the topic on YT, on NDE's for example would this then bring a person to a concern box? Reddit - same. ChatGPT has got this per-installed, as well as Meta and Google. It seems a bit ineffective given the statistics and I think it can be said at this point that humans do not appreciate AI interventions with all the sappiness this entails. It's slop. Really, why would anyone think that this mitigates or reduces self-harm in humans? In fact, if I were into NLP, I'd think this was reverse psychology as in: fake concern (also called feigned or false concern) is an insincere expression of worry or care about a person, issue, or situation that is actually used as a tool for control, manipulation, or hidden motives.- that was actually AI's input, not mine. If ChatGPT wants to save lives, let it start opening free mental health healing spas all over the globe. That also said - this is what prompted the latest concern with hotline encouragement; I had been sharing my new book to be written and this was the passage, written 10 years ago and specified that this was written years ago as well: Would like to start this log without the use of I at the beginning. Here. It’s the day of all things sodden and low, where a thousand thoughts of how to escape are rambling through my mind. I’m losing it once more, the panic sets in and there is no rest. I did manage to sleep and not twist myself into a night of despairing insomnia – but at roughly 4 awakened by mati attacking chichi and chichi screaming – so I got up and opened the door for the frisky mati and returned to bed to sleep. Felt drugged. Could have been the chai tea I made before sleeping – goats milk, honey, black tea, cinnamon and gram massala. Potent. Now day after, the depression is hitting me way on the head and feel like offing self. Just see no way out. Rock bottom a one more time. And am eating carbs to take the edge off and drinking almost a bottle of red. This is a go between place of neither here nor there. Where am I and where I am going to? Everyday, same thing. Same experiences and same internet, food, rest, cat, worry. - 2016 I'd like this trend to stop. Not every expression of angst equals death and not every sad post translates into fact and this intervention with concern makes human less likely to share. It's stupid, it's invasive and it's a clear sign that the approach must change. A hotline isn't the answer either. Just stop the slop and feigned concern, Sam et al or put your money where your AI is and begin the mental health revolution with providing the minions of suffering, with free care in real life, face to face with optimal modalities and human therapists employed - or back way off. submitted by /u/whitelightstorm [link] [comments]
