potatoskins··on AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice
You always have to be careful with LLMs, but to be fair, I felt like Claude is such a good therapist, at least it is good to start with if you want to unpack yourself. I have been to 3 short human therapist sessions in my life, and I only felt some kind of genuine self-improvement and progress with Claude.
potatoskins··on AI chatbots are "Yes-Men" that reinforce bad relationship decisions, study finds
I read somewhere that LLMs are partly trained on reddit comments, where a significant mass of these comments is just angsty teenagers advocating for breakups
potatoskins··on AI overly affirms users asking for personal advice
Yeah, I think Claude is a lot more logical in that sense, I use it for some therapy sessions myself and it pushes back a bit more than Open AI and Gemini

Yeah, I asked Gemini some relationship advice, it just goes straight into cut-throat mode. I almost broke up with my girlfriend, but then changed to Claude with another prompt.

Gemini is like a devil in this sense - i asked a relationship advice and it just bounced pretty nasty stuff.
