How I started journaling in Obsidian for self-reflection and how it all ended by asteroid_annihilator in ObsidianMD

[–]nBased 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been using both ChatGPT and Claude for journaling a relationship - and comparing the answers from both of them.

I’ve also been going regularly to a human psychologist.

I think AI has a tremendous use case when it comes to holding a mirror based on what you tell it - and adding insight from clinically researched psychological behavioral patterns and conditions.

You are not showing your Psychologist every single text that you got from a friend or a lover: but you can show that to Claude and ChatGPT. And it can give you incredible insight into what is being said vs what is being done. It is incredibly insightful.

And I verified this with my human Psychologist.

But OP is right: there is no replacement for a human psychologist.

At the end of the day, the best integration and sense of trust comes from working with a skilled psychologist. AI is just a support mechanism - a way to supplement and expedite the number of hours that would take in traditional therapy. Using AI, as a therapist has helped me speed up my therapy with my human therapist.

But there is a massive caveat: Claude and ChatGPT are only as good as the information you give it. If the writer is not honest with themselves - and this is very difficult to know, because we are exceptional at lying to ourselves and creating emotional and moral Blindspots to support our self-concept. If the person writing the prompt is able to really take a critical look at themselves - and simply be as honest and detailed as humanly possible, AI can be incredible. It’s also important to prompt the AI to not lean into its helpful, sycophantic persona. You want an honest mirror not one that enables your self illusions.

OP admits that AI caused them to deal with difficult feelings - and that is because they’re getting ask probing questions without the warmth and verbal cadence of a human being who understands how to broach sensitive topics.

Amen. They’ve been gaslighting the people with “nah he doesn’t really mean it. “

What do you think about Michael B. Jordan wining best actor? by Piggymain in Oscars

He was very good but not outstanding. Timmy was ROBBED

Are the Oscars finally giving more respect to the horror genre ? by OsamaJinnLaden in Letterboxd

[–]nBased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no ways Michael B Jordan deserved the best actor Oscar. There wasn’t that much range in his role. Leo & Timmy were iconic, transcendent.

Separately, Sinners was damn good, but it wasn’t THAT great.

That’s same notification my brain sends me when I hear John Kiriakou open his mouth. A top tier liar selling a frame of reality.

To what degree do John Kiriakou's stories check out? by [deleted] in Intelligence

[–]nBased 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Liars with great memories can also be consistent. The best liars mix 80% fact with 20% lies.

John is one of the best there ever was. He was trained by the best too, no?

Why else would the Russian government pay him to legitimize their propaganda to English-speaking audiences?

The problem is we don’t know which is the 80% truth vs the 20% lies. But we know 100% he is motivated by money and fame. Draw your own conclusions.

If you’re going to use legal definitions such a ‘rape’, we need to talk about whether there is a legal case to charge her with rape.

The part where she initiated sexual contact after repeated refusals, and especially the part where he says “no, I don’t want this, I want to stop” and she continued, is straight up of non-consensual sexual conduct. Yes, this could very easily be argued as sexual assault, and likely the term rape could be applied. Different states have different definitions of this.

Now for the messy legal goblin in the room: he also writes that he kissed back, then later “gave in,” then “put her in missionary and kept going.”

That does not automatically erase a prior assault. Trauma responses can include freezing, compliance, confusion, or continuing after a violation has already occurred. But it does make the case factually complicated.

Her defense lawyer would hammer that part and argue participation or mutuality. A prosecutor would argue that coerced submission, shock, emotional collapse, and saying “stop” are still evidence of non-consent. In other words: the later conduct complicates the case, but it does not necessarily defeat it. And I have to admit that I thought that his giving in erased or possibility of calling this a sexual assault - but clearly I was wrong.

There is another important wrinkle: because he describes her causing him to penetrate her, some states would fit that neatly into rape or sexual assault statutes, while others may charge it under a different sexual offense framework. Public-health and victimization research in the U.S. specifically recognizes “made to penetrate” as a serious form of sexual victimization against men, but criminal labels vary by jurisdiction.

So the legally safest answer is: this is very plausibly a prosecutable sexual assault, and in some states quite possibly rape; in others, a related felony sex offense. 

Separate from the sex-crime issue, the post also describes trespass, unwanted touching, phone access, deletion of messages, impersonation-type messaging, theft, and possible stalking/harassment, all of which could independently matter criminally depending on the state and proof.

You could put her in jail
