They know that indicates their product is a public health risk, right?
Well deserved Darwinism if you ask me
That should be enough motive to shut down that abomination
Didn't they try and bullshit people by saying their chats are private or something before?
I don't think they actually have. They've even implied the opposite at times. https://techcrunch.com/2025/07/25/sam-altman-warns-theres-no-legal-confidentiality-when-using-chatgpt-as-a-therapist/
That's safe and normal.
That's absolutely insane!
Why don't they just use Google?
/S
Millions of US-americans maybe. The rest of the world just goes to a doc.
Nah, stupidity and gullibility is universal
Wouldn't dare to speak against that :) Yet i would still wonder who'd do that instead of going to a doc. It's not like that would really help
Because a great many health issues don't really require a doctor to treat. Most of the time the advice is something along the lines of, "rest and if it doesn't go away in a week or gets worse, see a doctor." Or "eat better and exercise."
I'm not going to spend time and money going to the doctor for something that's easily treatable at home with OTC meds and supplies, but I might look it up to see best practices on how I should treat it and at what point a doctor should get involved. It's also a waste of the doctor's time that could be spent on a patient that actually needs to see them.
But "eat better and excersise" and "rest" are generally good advice that can be applied to everything :-) And sure, i wasn't thinking of a mild cough or anything one does not need to see a doc for, that's indeed a damn waste of time. But for the glorious amount of healthcare-payments, i sure would use it if needed.
Speaking on behalf of the rest of the world, we all google symptoms based off habit, but now we AI search it and read 10 shitass sponsored links and then go see a doctor if we are alarmed enough (there's no choice here)
Those of us over 50 will do both.
Those of us over 80 will quickly become lost only die with a wad of aluminium foil taped to their phone.
Lol. But hey, I'm over 50 and don't search symptoms. As it just leads to "most likely death" anyway 😁
I'm 67 years old. True story, AMA.
That came unexpected :-) Ok, here are my questions:
- What is your favorite colour?
- How does dark matter actually interact with cosmic ghost particles?
- What is existence?
Thanks!
Nahhhh jk I'm a young fella.
Purple. Goes bang! Torment.
Your welcome!
Sigh.
