After the Better Help fiasco, I’d imagine people would be very hesitant to use something like this without some kind of third-party auditing and certification that their data aren’t being used to sell them stuff.
"What is your MBTI type?" Surly you should also be asking for my star sign if you're operating at that level?
Patient: "What is your (creator's) degree?"
>"How often do you have drugs or alcohol?" >"What medication are you taking?" Um.. Is this HIPAA compliant?
Is there any scientific evidence to support the value of AI therapy?
First it’s sketch as fuck, second GPT is a guestimation engine and people are getting killed for asking it for psychological help. Someone in Belgium commit suicide to save the planet last month.
I love the drive and the idea, as someone who could benefit from this, but I have to shut this down hard.
As someone with significant mental health issues, and a moderate amount of experience with AI, who works with it daily, don’t mix them, please.
NEVER use GPT for financial, health, legal or other advice, as it’s not meant for that. Yes, it can simplify the research process, but always verify.
If you wanted to use a Language Model like this safely, you could load medical language models and ask questions about definitions, but never advice.
If you’re interested, I’d love to show you the basics, and I hate to shoot down other peoples good work, but not in this case.
Author: you’re probably not meaning any harm, but I have no way of knowing that.
You need to do far more research, far more legal considerations, and far more footwork to make this work.
Don’t be discouraged, but don’t get people killed with carelessness.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
What do you suggest as a solution?
Leave it to professionals (humans).
Stop, re-evaluate, and understand there is significant potential, but depending on where you are, there could be prison time, man.
I've developed a GPT-3 enabled robot therapist that aims to provide empathetic and informed conversations for individuals seeking mental health support. The project leverages the power of GPT-3 to offer a non-judgmental space, evidence-based coping strategies, and encouragement to seek professional help when necessary.
While I think there's definitely room for AI therapy as it can give people better results than many humans, if you don't have safety infrastructure in place (both psychological and patient data) you're walking off a liability cliff. Nobody with a clue would trust a startup with confidential mental health info, which means your customer pool is going to be made up of unstable people. Tell us about yourself First Name…
Shut this down now before you get too much attention.
NOBODY USE THIS. EVER. First it’s sketch as fuck, second GPT is a guestimation engine and people are getting killed for asking it for psychological help. Someone in Belgium commit suicide to save the planet last month. I love the drive and the idea, as someone who could benefit from this, but I have to shut this down hard.

I'm interested in how I can use this moving forward because I have personally found my app to be helpful for getting over a breakup.
My prompt is designed for Mindy to act as the "best of both worlds" between a real therapist and robot therapist, which means it will refer you to real therapy if it deems your problem too serious for a robot.
I'm not sure anymore however. I don't store any data for longer than the session is active, but I know OpenAI does. Also: OpenAI knows I am using their API for this purpose.
I'm really at a loss. I see the value and the harm. I'm going to have to do more thinking on this.

Naw. Tech people aren’t about “research”. Throw something together, and when your uninformed gut feeling tells you that it’s good enough, you snap a nice marketing site together and throw it over the fence.
