Therapists are secretly using ChatGPT. Clients are triggered.
Declan would never have found out his therapist was using ChatGPT had it not been for a technical mishap. The connection was patchy during one of their online sessions, so Declan suggested they turn off their video feeds. Instead, his therapist began inadvertently sharing his screen.

For the rest of the session, Declan was privy to a real-time stream of ChatGPT analysis rippling across his therapist’s screen, who was taking what Declan was saying, putting it into ChatGPT, and then parroting its answers.

But Declan is not alone. In fact, a growing number of people are reporting receiving AI-generated communiqués from their therapists. Clients’ trust and privacy are being abandoned in the process.

Ye of little faith. Don't forget that the president is always right.

How I miss the civil defense and the cold war. Fear mongering used to be uniting rather than dividing.

Edit, reminds me of the fugs' song:

Kill for Peace Lyrics
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace

Near or middle or very far east
Far or near or very middle east
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace

If you don't like the people
Or the way that they talk
If you don't like their manners
Or they way that they walk
Kill, kill, kill for peace
Kill, kill, kill for peace

I bet none of them will use their blinkers.

I was thinking these are the lamest memes ever. Then I realized I wasn't in the meme thread. Does that mean I might be old?
