> OpenAI is trying to do something about it.

Ha good one





They are collecting training data for ads & erotica.

It sounds like you’re feeling down. Why don’t you pop a couple Xanax(tm) and shop on Amazon for a while, that always makes you feel better. Would you like me to add some Xanax(tm) to your shopping cart to help you get started?

Honestly, ChatGPT reminding you to take your meds would be a huge positive for ADHD.

Been there. Two tips:

Set an alarm on your phone for when you should take your meds. Snooze if you must, but don't turn off /accept the alarm until you take them.

Put daily meds in cheap plastic pillbox container labelled Sunday-Saturday (which you refill weekly). The box will help you notice if you skipped a day or can't remember if you took them or not today. Seeing pills not taken from past days also serves to alert you if/that your "remember-to-take-them" system is broken and you need to make conscious adjustmemts to it.


Yeah this is a problem which definitely requires an H100

They're doing something about it alright, they're monetizing their pain for shareholder gainz!

Sure but your therapist is also monetizing your pain for his own gain. Either A.I therapy works (e.g can provide good mental relief) or it doesn't. I tend to think it's gonna be amazing at those things talking from experience (very rough week with my mom's health deterioriating fast, did a couple of sessions with Gemini that felt like I'm talking to a therapist). Perhaps it won't work well for hard issues like real mental disorders but guess what human therapists are very often also not great at treating people with serious issue.

Depression, ADHA, Schizophrenia are not a "very rough week"

But one is a company ran by sociopaths that have no empathy and couldn't care less about anything but money, while the other is a human that at least studied the field all their life.

> But one is a company ran by sociopaths that have no empathy and couldn't care less about anything but money, while the other is a human that at least studied the field all their life.

Unpacking your argument you make two points:

1) The human has studied all his life; yes, some humans study and work hard. I have also studied programming half my life and it doesn't mean A.I can't make serious contributions in programming and that A.I won't keep improving.

2) These companies, or OpenAI in particular, are untrustworthy many grabbing assholes. To this I say if they truly care about money they will try to do a good job, e.g provide an A.I that is reliable, empathetic and that actually help you get on with life. If they won't - a competitor will. That's basically the idea of capitalism and it usually works.


If it follows the Facebook/Meta playbook, it now has a new feature label for selling ads.
