    Goddamn you guys are the most paranoid people I’ve ever witnessed. What in the world do you think mega corps are going to do to me for babbling incoherent nonsense to ChatGPT?

    No, it’s not a substitute for a real therapist. But therapy is goddamn expensive and sometimes you just need to vent about something and you don’t necessarily have someone to vent to. It doesn’t yield anything useful, but it can help a bit mentally do to do.

      Goddamn you guys are the most paranoid people I’ve ever witnessed. What in the world do you think mega corps are going to do to me for sharing incoherent nonsense to Facebook?

      You, 10-20 years ago. I heard these arguments from people in the early days, well before Facebook blew up or Cambridge Analytica was a name any normies knew.

      This isn’t the early 00s anymore where we can pretend that every big corp isn’t vacuuming up every shred of data they can. Add on the fascistic government taking shape in the US and the general trend towards right leaning parties gaining power in governments across the world, and you’d have to be completely naive to not see the issues with using a ‘therapist’ that will save every datapoint to its training and could be mined to use against you or willingly handed over to an oppressive government to use however they so choose.

      If it’s incoherent, you’re fine… Just don’t ever tell it anything you wouldn’t want a stalker to know, or your family, or your friends, or your neighbors, etc.

        I’m not sure who out here is randomly posting that information to ChatGPT. But even if they were, your address and personal details are unfortunately readily publicly available on the web. It’s 2025.

      Mine the data for microanalysis of social trends and use it to influence elections through subliminal messaging.
