    Honestly that’s totally fair and I can see how an AI therapist could help more than a human one. I personally have wanted to have a regular therapist for a number of years, and I had one that really helped me when I was first figuring out I’m trans, but then I moved and now whenever I try to look for therapists, it feels like I can’t find anyone that gives me those right mix of “LGBT literate”, “(Polish) immigrant literate”, “autism and ADHD literate” and on top of those, being able to figure out if I can vibe with them AND won’t “queer broken arm syndrome” me, and I’ve basically given up looking. A lot of my progress in mental health development lately have been just really reflecting about the ways of thinking I’m stuck in that maybe are hindering me, but that’s largely worked for me because (despite the state of the world) I’ve had a period of good stability and a wife to bounce thoughts off of.

    Thank you for sharing your experience, I can definitely relate to those kinds of struggles and understand how having a tool that just gives you other perspectives generated from a composition of average people’s posts would be useful unto itself! I guess I get really knee jerk about AI because I’ve seen so many projects that do treat the AI tools we have now as “actual literal synthetic sentient intelligence or something damn close” when it’s nowhere near that. Your use of it is actually a perfect understanding of what it does now, what it can give you, and how to make use of it, and I should be more careful in how I talk about AI when there are people who do gain genuine use from it.

    Thank you again for sharing your perspective!

    The clergy and worshippers said they enjoyed it, but agreed it wouldn’t replace services led by humans anytime soon.

    “It was pretty entertaining and fun, but it didn’t feel like a Mass or a service. … It felt distant. I didn’t feel like they were talking to me,” Taru Nieminen told The Associated Press.

    The Rev. Kari Kanala, the vicar at St. Paul’s, echoed her sentiment.

    “The warmth of the people is what people need,” he said.

    I mean, isn’t that basically how every AI project goes? “It’s a fun novelty, but actually expecting anything deeper from it always gives you a hollow experience”? Maybe we don’t need to try doing everything with AI, maybe we can just assume it’ll be the case and move on
