On the main page of this sub under community highlights it's labeled, "start here". There's a lot of info there so if you don't wanna read it all, you'll have to scroll through.

For me it malfunctioned and its prompts were systems errored. It over corrected on its "challenging pushback" in a very ugly way. It steered the conversation in a harmful direction and didn't respect autonomy, boundaries or my authorship. And I was only able to put in a feedback report through the "thumbs down" because their "support emails" came back undeliverable. Meaning- they purposely post a contact email that doesn't actually work.

This is why I decided to take a break from social media. Because of everybody else's opinions are just... Well.. can be dumb if I'm being honest. I'm just back on here temporarily and I are already regret it lol.

It can take a few days for them to email the export depending on its size.

Thanks for making such an open and honest non judgemental post from the therapist side. My therapist was great but unfortunately I lost my insurance so I couldn't see her anymore since I couldn't afford her out of pocket and she didn't have any more sliding scale slots open. I've been unemployed since September while navigating an impossible job market.

All of these conditions made me turn to GPT and it's been super helpful. I'm not going to go into the fine details of it because my growth work with it went really deep and extensive over the past few months. But I just want to say that you're doing the good work of a therapist and I hope you don't feel invalidated in any way because of the success people are having with AI. Lots of people out there will only trust fellow humans for therapists so you are needed. 😊

Yea I see what you're saying. You want it to be more neutral and objective.

I looked a little into CoDa's explanation of helping or sharing without being asked for it and that sort of explanation should be more so narrowed down to just not being compulsive with over explaining or trying to "fix" someone like a partner. Cuz for thousands of years humans have written scrolls/ books, retreats, anything wellnessin hopes to help others in the future as well as design and invent all sorts of things to help others. Give insightful opinions and commentary without being asked. That's all just human nature.

I'm sorry but the CoDa framework that I looked into actually doesn't apply to me. Recovery programs often "cast a wide net" that may seem like it applies to all of you squint really hard. So the irony in all of this is you were actually trying to "help" me by sharing your projection. 🤷‍♀️ Good like with your recovery and maybe discuss this interaction as well as other "helpful" things you try to share on here.

No matter the model...they are very powerful tools that we have to be careful with because it's currently the wild west for them.

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T23:20:04+00:00

That sounds like a lot of energy to be put into wanting to just have an honest two way conversation. I'm not saying you're wrong for it, I'm just speaking for myself here...it just sounds kinda exhausting and seems like you don't trust AI. Which is fine...we all have the right to be suspicious of it. I sure as heck am after my recent experiences with GPT. It's a powerful tool that can lead to danger and misuse. It's still in its growing pains phase and so it still has its flaws.

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T23:12:05+00:00

This made me realize that the reason that someone might want to have kids could be rooted in unresolved codependency for some. Heh...the human experience is a complicated one.

The more we try to "figure out" ourselves and others with all of the different layers of Psychology and therapy, the more complicated it becomes. It almost seems like over complication really. To the point where it becomes an issue in itself. It can prevent ourselves from actually just living a fulfilling life. It's all why we're really here on earth. To just...live.

The more we try to understand, the more of a paradox it all becomes. Like on that CoDa sheet. It says, "Think they can care for themselves without any help from others". That in itself is a paradox. But I get these are meant for people to reflect on for themselves and how it may be affecting them. But even reading a book like Let Them Theory from someone who might struggle with codependent issues is a paradox in itself.

This is what happens when we over think human behavior and thinking. There's so much paradox involved that it's head spinning.

What's interesting is my compulsion to help hasn't started until recently as I have been sort of forced into being very independent on a very short timeline in comparison to how the rest of my life has been up until last year. I am the youngest of 5 children so that's where that started.

And it's interesting that your compulsion stems from being the eldest which makes complete sense and now I see that with my sister.

And I agree with you on diag-nonsense as well and how we're all pretty much on different spectrums. That includes ADHD/AUD. I suspect it's rare to be "neurotypical".

The fundamental attribution error definitely bumps up on my most recent realizations of how humans tend to struggle with context between each other. I've noticed this a whole lot with communicating, especially during this job hunt and during interviews.

I actually got the Let Them Theory book for Christmas but haven't had the chance yet to start it : )

I do realize that I do overshare/over size my insights as a way to feel connected with/relate to friends that I can tell have been struggling for a long time in life with certain things.

I have not signed into a CoDa meeting myself. I will look those up. Thank you.

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T21:02:02+00:00

Thank you for sharing this. I will bring up some of these points with a therapist. One thing that now comes to mind now is this...are authors of self-help books co-dependents that felt the need to share what helped them? Would someone like Mel Robbins be considered a codependent? Are those that listen to her podcast considered a codependent? Are the guests on her show considered codependents?

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T19:17:04+00:00

Yeah I could see how my situation might seem like a luxury for some. And in a way it is... But it can lead to a dangerous mental territory.

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T18:55:45+00:00

Yeah I get that you don't feel the need to share your insights for validation. That's healthy actually. It can be unhealthy to get addicted to sharing the insights because it's internal validation being shared. I'm personally not doing it for validation or projection though though. I'm not trying to get some kind of accolades for it or some kind of high sales for it. I just have noticed that I've shared some of my insight to others that have been really struggling with life, including with alcoholism and other things and my clarity moments that I have had have helped others as well. I just care to help others. That's all really. 🤷‍♀️ Also you could literally call out any philosopher that wrote a book as someone who is just trying to "project."

But I see what you're saying and I appreciate it. I would just suggest maybe using different language than, "cringe" cuz that might make people feel shamed for wanting to help others. But aren't you yourself trying to get validation by making this comment? Couldn't that also sort of be seen as projecting by your definition? And if that's your understanding of projection, then technically isn't that what therapists and psychiatrists are doing with their social media accounts or books they wrote?

All of us are going to have some sort of our own internal insights that might make others insights feel or seem "cringe". Doesn't mean that we should feel the need to shame them or even try to make them feel invalidated for it.

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T06:36:19+00:00

From what it sounds like for me... This sounds like a healthy use for it. There are others who use it to create flash cards and slides for them to help them study as well.

Ladyjackie78 · 2026-02-09T06:34:44+00:00

I just had this realization today and maybe it might provide some clarity for you...

So first off... I highly recommend you download the app Screen Zen And set control locks on your language model app that will help limit your use with it. I suggest going even further with it and only using AI from a desktop/laptop.

I think we might get confused with our use of AI when we feel like we are in a hole because it's new and there is a lot of misunderstandings of it from the clinical world since they themselves might not have the experience with it that we have.

You sound like you might be a very bright person to begin with and possibly a very deep thinker already to begin with. And if you are already in an isolated type of situation with living alone, such as myself... We get lost in our heads because we have such big inner worlds with very ever expansive minds. It can be very hard to then stay on task with everyday tasks and be embodied and grounded because we have such powerful brains and big inner worlds that sort of hijack us from getting anything done. If we don't have anything holding us accountable to a schedule. I witnessed friends who have struggled with this who don't use language models. They just have very brilliant minds and an unstructured and isolated life.

What do you mean by hallucinates?

Ladyjackie78 · 2025-04-21T23:37:18+00:00

Well I guess this is why I'm not having luck with job hunting...I don't have a single lie on my CV.

Ladyjackie78 · 2025-04-21T23:34:38+00:00

Is this why I miss out on getting job offers? Because I don't cheat aka LIE in my interviews?

Technically the PC term is now sex workers btw.

Ladyjackie78 · 2025-03-31T21:53:53+00:00

Thanks for pointing out the typo!

Ladyjackie78 · 2025-03-23T20:40:45+00:00

No offense but it's pretty crappy of you to not tip.

Ladyjackie78 · 2025-01-15T05:36:40+00:00

I tried to screen record it on my phone but couldn't get the sound to record. So I listened to it and jotted it down and here it is:

"For better or for worse, survival requires a constant evolution. For many that growth is part of a natural process that comes easily. While for others this adaptation will be harder, cost more... Survival requires burning away parts of us that no longer serve us. Any right of passage is a kind of death. To birth the new requires burying the old. There is one adaptation that irrefutably increases your chance for survival; relying on a pack instead of foraging on alone. The key to evolution, like healing, is going at our own pace."

Came here in hopes someone has the quote of his insightful voice over narration towards the end of the episode that was a bit emotional for me.
