It is easy to point to loopy theories around superalignment, p(doom), etc. But you don't have to be hopped up on sci-fi to oppose something like GPT-4o. Low-latency response time is fine. The faking of emotions and overt references to Her (along with the suspiciously-timed relaxation of pornographic generations) are not fine. I suspect Altman/Brockman/Murati intended for this thing to be dangerous for mentally unwell users, using the exact same logic as tobacco companies.

One could also say that therapists prey on lonely people who pay them to talk to them and seem like they’re genuinely interested in them, when the therapist wouldn’t bother having a connection with these people once they stop paying. Which I suppose is true from a certain point of view. But from another point of view, sometimes people feel like they don’t have close friends or family to talk to and need something, even if it’s not a genuine love or friendship.

Ideally a therapist is an uninvolved neutral party in one's life. They act as sounding board to measure one's internal reactions to the outside world.

The key is neutral point of view. Friend's and family come with bias. The bias's can be compounded by mentally ill friend's and family.

Therapist must meet with other therapists about their patient interactions. The second therapist acts a neutral third party to the keep the first therapist from losing their neutrality.

That is the ideal and the real world may differ.

I'm struggling with someone that looks to be having some real mental issues. The person believes I'm the issue and I need to maintain a therapist to make sure I'm treating this person fairly.

I need a neutral third party that I gossip with that is bound to keep it to themselves.
