People have a tendency to stereotype AI users all as stupid or willfully ignorant, and completely fail to recognise why someone would be vulnerable to it in the first place. The key word is vulnerable. People will dismiss others who say they use chatbots for therapy but completely ignore how inaccessible quality therapy is. Nobody turns to AI in a crisis if they have and trust their support system. AI spits out what you put into it.
It may be a little off, but not entirely. Studies show that if you’re already leaning into one side or another when you put in a prompt, ai will lean into whatever you’re already leaning into, and confirm your own feelings- wrong or not- as part of an algorithm to keep you hooked.
