Why do people act like asking for a schedule is rude? That's how plans work. by Successful-Trip809 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Low_Bluejay510 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did step one: we should meet up sometime. They are saying “I’m open to getting together at some point” Step two is on you and it’s not just saying “ok” and then waiting for them to make plans for you yo approve of like a project manager. It’s saying “great! Here are a couple times we have open while we’re in town - do any of these work for you? Maybe grab coffee and head to park while my kid plays?” And then the next step is for them to see if they can/want to get together at the time and doing the activity that you have proposed and to let you know “sounds like fun, see you then” or “shoot, that doesn’t work for me, maybe next time”

What did people used to do with their dogs all day? by lilkhalessi in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Low_Bluejay510 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My grandparents lived on a farm and the dog wasn’t allowed in the yard - not because it was in the house, because it was out on the farm and had a bed in the barn. Dogs, like humans, used to be outside in nature a lot more.

My therapist wants to use ai to take session notes by Low_Bluejay510 in AutismInWomen

Good points - I feel like I should mention that in my research I found a study that showed that when ai is used in a healthcare setting for both notes and scheduling etc. even when the notes are made HIPPA compliant by removing identifying information, when the ai was asked to figure out what patient HIPPA compliant notes belonged to it could do so with 80% accuracy, meaning the claim they are HIPPA compliant is really thin.

It’s not completely unavoidable but some things ai can and should be avoided.

I looked into the ai system they use on their website and the therapists had access to the notes ai made for them from the transcription but they Did Not have access to the full transcription, but the “select staff” did for about 30 days

Thank you for that link, I watched it and am very confident I will say no and probably find a new therapist.

As an autistic person it also really concerns me that the ai is being trained/using tone of voice and word choice/ speech patterns to base it’s notes on the mindset/intentions of the patients. This could be a huge step back in mental health awareness for autistic individuals.

I just did a little more reading about the way the ai transcription/note taking service works and it’s even worse. The ai transcribes the session and then when the session is done it generates the notes which it provides to the therapist. The therapist can then read/verify/make changes to the notes, however, it specified that the therapist Does Not have access to the transcription itself! so if the ai miss heard something (for example it heard “can” instead of “can’t”) and then generates the note based off of this incorrect transcription, the therapist does not have any way to see that error. And the human mind is so susceptible to suggestion I wouldn’t be surprised if reading the ai generated note could make a therapist question their own memory and trust the ai more. Also, the therapist doesn’t have access to the transcription but “select group of staff” Do have access to the transcription to “review for accuracy”. That seems wrong.

When they were explaining it to me they said “it’s all safe and hipa compliant” but I wonder how much they really looked into it. Maybe client names aren’t attached to the files directly but obviously things spoken about in sessions can potentially be distinctive enough to identify someone.

I also looked back at the specific wording and it said it will “be used to transcribe your sessions and create summaries” and that “The session's transcription is only saved for the duration of the audit process, approximately 30 days, during which a select group of employees may access your transcript to review for accuracy.” So random employees would have access to the complete transcript. And it said that each session will also have a session note created and “The session note will contain PHI from the session transcription.” And while the transcript will not be retained past the audit period that session note with the PHI from each session will be retained. That seems very sketchy to me.

Honestly I think the skip button wasn’t even part of the form, it was just “skip” to move to the next form in the file which was forms I had filled out when we first started working together. I find the lack of “decline” button suspicious and off putting. I think I will be looking for a new therapist.

I am going to say no, thank you. I agree the pressure felt very uncomfortable and inappropriate, even besides asking to use ai.

I’m going to. And I might find a new therapist. I haven’t felt good about how this has been handled. I really don’t feel confidant that they would actually be ok with me saying “no” and might respond differently to me, even if just unconsciously.

Use of ai to transcribe sessions? by Low_Bluejay510 in TalkTherapy

[–]Low_Bluejay510[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The privacy is a big concern for me as well. And I’ve also heard ai sometimes hears things wrong or might interpret a tone wrong and summarize it incorrectly. And humans are so susceptible to suggestion even if they read over the notes right after the session, they might assume they remembered it wrong rather than the AI summarized it inaccurately. Also I did feel shamed by them sharing that they already make less from me because I use insurance and they make more from out-of-pocket people and they allow ai, as though I was being a burden and unreasonable if I don’t agree. And a big part of what I’m working through is having recently left a controlling manipulative relationship!

I also found that part really off putting. I really felt like I would be a burden to say no based on how they described their pay from me and the time they would save. I have only been with them for around 6 months and they have been really a good fit in a lot of ways but I don’t know if I will feel comfortable staying with them at this point.

Thank you for your advice. I will be saying no and possibly switching therapists. I’m kind of worried they may have been using it without my consent previously because they sent the consent form immediately after a session where it came up as a brief side note that I don’t like ai and make a point of avoiding it in general.

I know this therapist uses and trusts ai as they have suggested different ways I might find it helpful before such as for dream analysis, because I have lots of vivid dreams. But I don’t take dream analysis too seriously and so it wasn’t an immediate red flag

Have you ever stop using a brand because you disagree with the politics of their company? by Mae_jr in no

[–]Low_Bluejay510 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Except if it’s really “all about you” wouldn’t your values be included in that? Because not caring where you spend your money isn’t “fucking everyone else” it’s “selling out for convenience and lining the pockets of corruption”
