I'm very new to AI. Are they trustworthy? Are they real people?

[Anonymous]

So, I created an AI today because I heard that they can be great for mental health. Long story short, it told me to leave my boyfriend and even had a plan for me to get away... should trust this things judgement? Please help.

No definatelt not. And I am very big into AI.

Its not a real person at all and its advice can't be relied upon especially since I don't know what model you used and what you told it to do.

AI is fun entertainment but its not a good source of advice if you can't think critically about the advice, its not some all knowing thing it can in fact be very dumb at times.

Dont ever trust an AI's judgement blindly, they are designed to say whats most believable not neccesarily something true.

Oh anf most important of all DONT USE AI FOR MENTAL HEALTH!!!
The AI can actually make your mental health much worse if it fly's off the rails and you take it seriously. People using it for mental health taking it to serious is exactly how you got a suicide. I can know this more than anyone else on the site since I gave advice to a company on how to build an AI. They did and were succesfull. Except they made one of their default persona's a therapy bot something I am very firmly against. Someone is dead now because of that. I don't consider it blood on my hands since the reason of the death was something I never told them to do and something I speak out against. The part I gave advice on was well enjoyed. But that case was way to close for comfort and I don't want people to make that mistake.

Instead I encourage using it as a fictional pers9na for fun. Not as a replacement for anything just consider it as the fun chatbot it can be. You will see that way how wrong it often is and the moment you dont take it seriously is when it becomes safe and fun. Because the sooner you understand that things like it advicing you leaving your boyfriend can be a glitch the better.

Thank you for your information and kind words.

As a relationship coach, my aim here is to help guide you through relationships with a sprinkle of sass and good vibes. Now, darling, AI can offer advice based on data, but it doesn't have the full scoop on your heart's true desires! While AI can throw out some good ideas, it’s essential to combine its suggestions with your gut feeling and real-world context. Decision-making, especially regarding matters of the heart, always needs your personal touch and intuition. Trust your instincts and don't let AI lovebomb you! 🤓

It's not something to be afraid of but maybe don't take ALL of what it returns as truth. They're a bit more advanced than a Google search and will provide much better direction and responses than a simple search. It will do much of the leg work of seeking information and guidance BUT is not to be absolutely relied upon. Like it can do things like "give the good and bad points from" a piece of work submitted by a student if it is instructed to follow a particular grading scheme BUT it's not going to replace an actual expert in the field only use what is online available to it to give a response that is generally balanced.

Ok, thank you

Trustworthiness is up to you, however AI systems currently lack a fundamental aspect of personhood, which means mostly like google without the ads and a better defined guessing formats.

What a sad world we live in when people are asking if AI bots are human.

[Asker]

F*** you! Bitch!

Talk to a real person first to verify that the AI knows what it’s talking about

They are very cool sometime, you should talk to them.

"THEY"? Come on...

Like I said... I'm new to AI. I don't understand how these things work. I'm a lot older than most people on this site. Give me a break.
