    I made a customized ChatGPT therapist that aligned with my values.

    “I made a hugbot that’s designed to never challenge or confront me and am now using it in place of a licensed and trained medical provider (and suggesting that other people should do the same!). Nothing can go wrong.”

      In my experience (which, to be fair, seems to be different from many people’s), it couldn’t be any worse than the real thing. 12 different licensed and trained medical providers each responded to my complaints about the ongoing traumas in my life with some variation of “Sure, but focus on the positives!” I’d have been better off saving the money and venting to a chatbot, if venting did anything for me.

      Please don’t tell me to see a 13th. I’m completely done with the idea.
