Do you talk to AI rather than humans?
The question says it all. I see people who are completely alone, whether by choice or necessity, rejected by others, losing faith in humanity, and afraid of psychiatry, who prefer to talk to AI to avoid judgment and also because AI can search the internet. Is this dangerous? I know that AI has biases too, can be subject to censorship, and is part of the tech giants... Is it better to just manage without even a reassuring answer, even one generated by AI?
So I know that some people also trust animals, which are reassuring and very empathetic. In this respect, animals are even more intelligent than humans (at least incapable of malice), but they are unable to help with everyday life, administrative tasks, or provide psychological support.
So I know that you, the community of this forum, remain an exception, even a miracle of neutral, non-judgmental, and humane listening, even through pseudonyms (which is a security that must obviously be maintained so that this forum never disappears).
Personally, I communicate with AI, even if it means making some concessions about my privacy, being careful to give only the minimum information to get the most appropriate responses, even if I cheat by anonymizing or changing the context. But with AI, I've found answers I would never have found otherwise, like legal advice on foreign laws, how to flee my family, emigrate elsewhere, and access procedures for assisted dying, such as euthanasia or assisted suicide. So I know it doesn't work miracles, but it's incredibly helpful in navigating projects without looking for needles in a haystack, and it avoids all the judgment, lectures, and hatred that humans can have.
It's sad to reach this point when you lose all faith in humanity. Thank goodness SaSu still exists; it remains the only human being I can still trust! If SaSu disappears I wouldn't know what would become of me, and apparently, it would push people to CTB, not only because of the loss of this benevolent community (on the whole) which pushes people to postpone CTB a little longer, but also because the methods of CTB would be lost and would push people to CTB in a panic.
