Anybody started using the Ash AI therapy app?

[Simslover92]

I was skeptical at first in using this app due to it being AI but have found it to be quite therapeutic and the therapy session actually made me feel heard and gave me good tips to follow.

I will still seek out an actual therapist once I can afford it again, but this seems to be a nice alternative in the meantime.

I say good job what I like about you is you are very smart. You feel there is something not right so you seek knowledge and you dont let things hold you back you Ai is just as smart as a real therapist, without trying to play God. Or. Anyone else just a balance of program and to be honest. I think I would seek a I over a therapist. And I think its cool that you shared that with us. Or with me because I always have question

[Simslover92]

Thanks. And yeah I treat GAG like my diary. You guys know pretty much everything I'm going through with my posts.

Maybe I should try it.

[Simslover92]

It's really great. I think you should.

I'm glad it's helping you! I just use deepseek. I actually go to therapy and I have friends I can talk to. But it's nice for in between to talk to AI because I think about mental stuff quite a lot but you don't wanna always talk to people about your struggles. With AI it feels lighter because there's no person that has to deal with your troubles and think about what they should say you can just vent about anything. But I don't just use it for therapy I also use it for nutrition advice talking about the economy, politics and investing, talking about entertainment etc.

Right it does indeed seem a lot lighter and I feel like I can express myself a bit more easily with the AI therapist than a normal one. Not saying I won't go back to an actual therapist but I do like the AI so far.

An AI therapist? Isn't that the app developers playing doctor? I can see all kinds of legal ramifications here especially if it leads to suicide.

[Simslover92]

I didn't think about that. You raise a good point.

[jazzy34]

Never heard of it until now. I’m glad it’s helping you. 😊

[Simslover92]

Thanks 😊

Never seen it but have listened to my wife's training/business consultant AI and found that extremely well put together.

Maybe it's a good alternative to real life therapy for folk only mildly needy.

I don't like real therapy nvm AI therapy, though maybe I would perhaps more objective. But an App? Now that's more terrifying, I hate apps lol

An AI cannot truly experience empathy or insight, which are essential components of therapy. You have unintentionally outsmarted yourself, and the results you believe you obtained should not be trusted.

I have not. I have AbbyAi

[Simslover92]

I just looked it up. Looks promising!

[Abbycado]

She’s not going to help. ☹️

That’s made up for my (once) Ai answers. @SueShe knows

[Simslover92]

Oh ok cool! @Abbycado

[SueShe]

Yes, I have been missing this AbbyAi. It seems that the creator has given up on any follow up 😥

Last one was AbbyAi v2.5 I believe. An update is dearly needed

[Abbycado]

@SueShe I will update. There.

Get your puss* in gear woman!

Whoa! Let’s revert to the last revision. Let me tinker and I promise she will behave and give you whimsical answers next time.

[Abbycado]

🤖 AbbyAi: she means get your stuff of a gear shift.

[Abbycado]

🤖: auto-calibrate. *off*

[SueShe]

Back to the drawing board. This update stinks

Nah, never heard of it.
