"We did it, Patrick! We made a technological breakthrough!"
A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.
AI, in this case, refers to LLMs, GPT technology, and anything listed as "AI" meant to increase market valuations.

Why not? They all started doing it during COVID, and most still offer it as an option.
It's just my personal preference, and where I think the value in therapy is best found. Maybe it's something as simple as the quality of the sound of someone's voice in a real face to face meeting. Either way, I totally understand the difficulty that COVID made for this to happen, while simultaneously creating the situation in society where many more people needed therapeutic counseling.
I don't mean to undervalue it for anyone else's utility, it might work perfectly well for some.
Your original comment absolutely seems to be directed towards everyone, not just your personal preference. I mainly access therapy via video call, because I have a disability and my psychologist's office is an hour each way from my house.
I agree, that's the reason I opted to clarify and acknowledge that I was being too general.
