MODERATORS
Uhh, no?
That's called being irresponsible.
Whatever happened to like, going to discord community support servers for mental health? I mean come on. It is poor hindsight and oversight to not see how bad ChatGPT is for everything, especially mental health.
You know better.
I’m sure it’s much better to take your mental health to discord… to a bunch of certainly qualified anonymous… talk about being responsible ^^
"don't go to the right wing corporate machine for mental help! go to the right wing trolls!"
look. neither of those are good options. both are just people trying to survive all the way until tomorrow. i would say 811 is a better option, but that's state controlled and imprisoning the mentally unwell is part of project 2025. i'd take this stance more seriously if your alternative to ChatGPT wasn't nearly equally as dangerous. if someone is reading this and is feeling in crisis and doesn't know where to turn, i'd most recommend going to your local public library and looking at the upcoming events. maybe talk to a librarian about where to find the difficult topics section. most librarians i know will get the hint and recommend some community resources to help you through your difficult times. any help you get online from a stranger or corporation without clear motives to help you is automatically a high risk interaction prone to spreading harmful dis or misinformation.
