What would you change about ai? Asking for my passion project
Hi guys, I’ve been lurking here for a while and wanted to get your take on something I’ve been struggling with for the last 1.5 years.
I used AI a lot for my own stress and anxiety management. I found it a much easier way to talk about things without judgement, but it's not always the best. I got so incredibly frustrated with always having to start fresh convos because one chat grows so big. Plus the standard GPT therapist voice constantly diagnosing crap, rather than constructively helping.
Now I'm a recent psychology uni grad from Australia, and I taught myself how to code so I could build a useful and accessible mental health app (it’s a solo passion project). With the help of some other devs.
It combines traditional tools (habit tracking, to-do lists, planning, journaling, etc.) with an AI companion. BUT my biggest goal is trying to tune the AI so it actually acknowledges the shit of daily life, without sounding like a corporate HR mental health rep...
Since you guys are one of the most experienced communities, when it comes to using AI for mental health, I’d love your feedback and some thoughts outside of my own:
- If you could alter anything about how current AI therapy bots interact with you, what would you change?
- What actually makes you feel supported by an AI, instead of just feeling "processed"?
and other suggestions or feedback would be awesome! ❤️
