    Someone close to me gave up on the hotlines in the US and now just uses ChatGPT. It’s no therapist, but at least it’ll hold a conversation. If only the hotlines here weren’t so absurdly understaffed.

      I’ve used one called PI which I’m assuming is some kind of branch off of chat gpt or something.

      You don’t have to sign up or anything (for now) which is cool. But I assume they harvest all our data and information.

      I tested to see if I could break it once, and from my brief tests, it seemed to never break out of character or tell me something bad or negative, which I thought was interesting(and good!)

        I actually used Pi as my intro to generative LLMs. It was … I guess not encouraging self harm, but so fucking irritating that it led me to want to. Always with the irrelevant supportive words that I guess work if you’re a teen?

      I’ve given up on crisis lines. Their whole premise seems to be “get back to being comfortable with the oppressive system, you little bitch.”
