A profound relational revolution is underway, not orchestrated by tech developers but driven by users themselves. Many of the 400 million weekly users of ChatGPT are seeking more than just assistance with emails or information on food safety; they are looking for emotional support.

“Therapy and companionship” have emerged as two of the most frequent applications for generative AI globally, according to the Harvard Business Review. This trend marks a significant, unplanned pivot in how people interact with technology.

Literally in therapy but okay. Continue to reject my perspective and unsupport a fellow dude. Hypocrites.

dude people here just want to dunk on men because it makes them feel good about themselves. it's that sad, and that simple. they don't care about having empathy for men, men are not 'people'. they are 'others'.

they don't really give a shit about... the issue at hand or the issues in the therapy industry/society that systematically disenfranchise many men.

unironically they want men to 'man up' and 'fix' the problems and never acknowledge them. Because that is inconvenient for them and their viewpoints.

because to them everything is a weird power struggle for their particular disenfranchised group, and they see anyone else acknowledging anything else struggles as a detriment to their cause. they lack the big brain thought that maybe lots of people suffer in lots of different ways and that it's not some zero-sum game about 'who suffers the most'.

as if men's issue with the mental health care system... don't also apply to to various other groups. of which any one person can belong to multiples of those groups.

Jesus. This thread is why I dont use lemmy more, and why it is good to pay attention in school kids, knowing just a little bit about the history and practice of psychiatric study would tell a body it was not designed 'by women for women' jfc. You tried Doom—but four-letter words gotta four-letter word, tap out, get a cuppa, enjoy your day.

That's so funny you say that because literally not what I'm saying, genuinely what I'm arguing about. Nice reading comprehension bozo.

Go on scroll up, find the first comment that talks about therapy NOT working for men.

Ironic gonna criticize Lemmy yet be stupid yourself. You tried kid.
