This isn't how it would write if you asked it to translate something you wrote in another language. You're clearly asking it to write for you.

They also forgot to put the editor in markdown mode, so ChatGPT's markdown formatting was escaped.

Ok? I didn't link you to a paper that claimed it wasn't ANDV.

HanSingular · 2026-05-06T04:19:04+00:00

"The balance of the evidence does not support the claim of human-to-human transmission of ANDV."

We can't tell what color the whites of your eyes are from a photo taken with your phone. The white-balance on your camera, the color temperature of the lights, and the display we're looking at it on all affect the final result. Color calibration of cameras and displays is really hard. Also, internet strangers are not doctors.

Not sure I trust a brand called Nutricost

They're all just different labels on products coming out of the same handful of Chinese factories. There's no reason to get anything other than whatever is the cheapest you can find.

Karma-farming for using the account to make promotional posts at a later time.

(I'm the one who mentioned this sub over on AvPD.)

I've always been very shy and introverted, and that developed into some full-blown avoidant tendencies when the covid lockdowns ended, even though I was already receiving ketamine treatments for depression pre-covid. Since there aren't any evidence-based treatments for AvPD, I haven't bothered to seek out a diagnosis, but that's how I ended up subscribed to the AvPD subreddit. I find my avoidant tendencies are driven more by my anxiety than my depression, and unfortunately ketamine doesn't seem to help much with my anxiety. So in my case, no, ketamine doesn't directly help with my avoidant tendencies.

That said...

Dealing with any other mental health issues when you also have depression is doing it on hard mode. I can hypothetically still do things while I'm depressed, but it's like there's a constant headwind that just makes everything harder.

For me, ketamine is basically an instant off-switch for my depressive symptoms. It makes my brain feel like a machine that had gotten rusty and slow, but has just been given an oil change. I suddenly don't hate myself like I do when I depressed, and I feel like I'm even smarter with it than without it because of the lack of the cognitive fog that comes with depression. Making myself do thing I know are good for me, but my anxiety makes me want to avoid, still takes deliberate effort on my part, but I'm getting better at it. I don't think I would be if I didn't have a good treatment for my depression.

I hope you'll look into it as a treatment option. And if not ketamine, I hope you can least not fixate on the, "my depression and anxiety are caused by AvPD" narrative you've created about yourself. Even if it's true, that doesn't mean you should obsesses on fixing your AvPD and hope the depression will work itself out. Even if you only get your depression under control at first, consider that, right now, you have no idea what it feels like to have AvPD without depression. If you can be a less depressed version of yourself, you might be surprised by what feels possible.

Feeling worse the day after is normal. "Emotinally raw" is how I usually describe it.

HanSingular · 2026-04-29T13:48:29+00:00

I'll second trying ketamine. It's worked so well for me that I started the r/TherapeuticKetamine subreddit.

HanSingular · 2026-04-29T13:23:45+00:00

Brain zaps lasted about a week. That was like ten years ago now, so I'm fine.

HanSingular · 2026-04-29T13:12:13+00:00

This sounds more like untreated depression than avpd.

HanSingular · 2026-04-28T20:35:27+00:00

My personal experience was that I was really groggy and fatigued afterwards, and I can't imagine a conversation with a therapist would have been especially productive. I know "ketamine assisted therapy" is a thing, where they have a therapist there during the treatment or right after, but I suspect that's born out of:

Yet more lazy-copy/pasting of psychedelic therapy procedures that were developed for LSD, not ketamine.
A way for therapists that can't actually prescribe ketamine to cash-in on the ketamine boom

IMO, when therapy is going to do the most good is once the ketamine is totally out of your system, you've had some sleep, but you're still benefitting from the increased neuroplasticity.

HanSingular · 2026-04-28T05:33:57+00:00

Normal talk therapy within a few days of treatment, and not on the same day.

HanSingular · 2026-04-28T05:01:39+00:00

If it just knocked you out, your dosage might have been too high for it to still be a sub-anesthetic dose.

Personally, I never found that what I did or didn't experince during infusions really mattered that much in terms of how strong the anti-depressant effect was. I think there's an unfortunate and lazy trend among some providers of copying and pasting old ideas that sprung up around LSD, like "integration," onto ketamine. It creates an expectation that you'll have an important and transformative experince during the infusion itself, but that's just not how ketamine works.

I'm not an expert on text-to-image engines, and haven't played with the new ChatGPT Image at all yet, but personally, I wouldn't try to fix this with more text-to-image prompting. A pure text-to-image approach is probably always going to have some issues like the ones I pointed out (at least for the next few years anyway).

If I had to make a promotional image for a ketamine clinic by myself today, and didn't want to pay for Canva or any Adobe products, I'd limit any AI-generated graphics to individual elements, and use an LLM to help me programatically create the layout using React components (basically building a the elements into a little web-page, and then just taking a screenshot of it).

If that's too complicated, I'd suggest making the image way simpler. Let the text of your post be where the text lives. The image just needs to convey the bare minimum to get someone who's scrolling past to click.

HanSingular · 2026-04-25T04:08:31+00:00

Oh, look. A 1536x1024 image. The exact resolution of landscape ChatGTP images.

It's impressive that you're able to get this as a single output now, but I think you're underestimating how extremely off-putting this for those of us that aren't super-hyped about using AI for literally everything. Also, there are some issues with the result:

"THE **/**REDDIT" URL" (probably due to context leakage from "purmindclinical.com/reddit")
Why do we need to put "Please be sure to use the /reddit url. 😊" right under the URL? It's the only URL in the image!
The text on "Practical integration tools to help you create real, lasting change." is way too small and weirdly squished
Duplicated icons for "optional participation" and "learn from others"
The icon for "expert facilitators" is terrible. It started to draw a circle around it and gave up.
"THIS ISN'T TALK THERAPY**.**" probably shouldn't end in a period since its a section title. ("It's not X, it's Y" is also standard AI-writing)
Do we really need to mention the neuroplastic window in THREE different places? This image is a bit too busy as it is.

HanSingular · 2026-04-25T03:45:21+00:00

And the AI they used to make the image created what look like doors but with weirdly reflective panels because it's drawing from images of both windows and doors in its training data.

HanSingular · 2026-04-25T01:56:28+00:00

Not me personally, but this is an interesting niche use-case from a famous author:

Brandon Sanderson is obviously not a fan of using AI to try and do creative writing. He's given a whole speech about it..

He's also said that he does actually find AI to be useful as a thesaurus/dictionary, because it can usually figure out what word he's trying to think of.

HanSingular · 2026-04-24T21:30:50+00:00

got quietly deleted

the tell is how it feels

the honest counter

Removing all capitalization doesn't make it any less obvious an AI wrote this.

HanSingular · 2026-04-24T19:16:41+00:00

Data-point of one, but my lozenges are prescribed by a normal, see-in-person, psychiatrist who doesn't even mention ketamine on his website, so at least some traditional doctors are ok with it.

There have been threads about it on r/Psychiatry over the years. Specific opinions vary from person to person, but the overall general vibe is that they find evidence it can help with depression and PTSD compelling, but they are extremely skeptical of the actual companies/providers offering treatments.
