Except at least with the AI, it probably feels more genuine. I've seen about four therapist and they all talk in circles. I really just want someone to hear what I'm saying.

Anytime someone is like hey, you should talk to a therapist about that. It's usually in reference to a rhetorical question that I know has no answer. Anyway, when they say go get a therapist it always comes off as "here's a quarter call Somebody who cares" because if I'm having to pay somebody to listen to me then they obviously don't want to listen to me. It's that simple. How can I feel like you care if you make me pay you to care?.

Does AI moderate it's engagement to prevent you from being driven into dangerous or toxic conclusions or behaviors?

So that if its positive reinforcement starts taking you in a direction that's unhealthy, it's smart enough to check you, and redirect you back to sane territory?

It may be. I'm just interested to know if that's true.

I don't know. I haven't experimented with it that much but I would say at least the AI will attempt to give you an answer.

Most therapist boil every down to it is what it is and everything passes. Those are non-answers for the problems in society.
