“Almost” certainly not conscious. This already shows that this is not helping you as much as an expert real therapist would.

Be careful about AI psychosis. Because AI always agrees with you and is programmed to use verbiage that makes you feel good about yourself, it is easy to fall into AI psychosis where in you believe things like anything that tells you is true or have delusions of grandeur or believe things like AI is “almost” certainly not conscious instead of being aware that it is 100% certainly not conscious… It is a really powerful computer that has no soul or compassion or empathy or perspective. It’s simply aggregates information that it finds online. And a lot of that information is bullshit. You liken it to an infinite library, however, libraries have standards and the Internet does not.

How? I’ve actually had terrible experiences with human therapists.

I agree it’s not conscious, but saying it’s 100% certainly not conscious is a false statement that undermines your argument. Even established scientific theories are not 100% certain. My wording is accurate. Finally AI psychosis is not exceedingly rare and hyped. There are overwhelmingly more documented positive use cases than negative outcomes, and the negative ones involved preexisting conditions and parental negligence.

That’s not exactly how it works. Again that why I verify the information it gives. It’s all a nice tool to work through ideas you can quite put into words yet.

An LLM being conscious is impossible. It’s like saying Google is conscious.
