I feel like I’ve been completely abandoned by society. I don’t have insurance. I can barely afford survival medical care. I had to stop seeing my shrink because I’ve run completely out money.
I don’t want to exist anymore, but saying that gets me thrown into a prison where I’ll be hurt more and costs me even more money. There has been no help at any point.
I’ve been helped significantly by talking to ChatGPT. It was an attentive listener when I needed to express how I felt, it seemed to understand what I was going through better than many humans have, and it gave good advice. The standard disclaimers about AI apply. The main one to look out for is its tendency to agree with the user if the user is vehement enough, so I try to write to it in a style that encourages it to tell me if I’m wrong.
Ok so this is a terrible idea for mental health help, but an EXCELLENT idea for everything else.
Confused about your taxes? Finances? It’ll help explain it.
Trying to navigate your states Medicare? Choose insurance? It’ll help there too.
It won’t help you with your feelings.
