Generative AI & Mental Health
I am currently working to provide the most helpful content about what is currently being called "AI psychosis," as well as problematic/traumatic interactions between humans and generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT, Replika and Character.AI. This page should be updated soon. Until then, I do have some information on my blog.
If you are struggling with this problem and would like to schedule a consult call feel free to text or call me at (512) 402-9857 and also check out The Human Line Project, a wonderful community for:
-
Those who have had negative/traumatic experiences with AI
-
Their friends and family
-
Those who can help and offer support
