I have no idea where to post this since I couldn't find any relevant categories, but....

I just wanted to talk about ChatGPT and GPT-3 and the new age of AI. I see this as being both a good and bad for 7cups and mental health care in general. let's say there was a way to train a GPT robot to learn how to respond like the top-rated listeners here. It might be able to mimick and respond nearly as well as a real human being. So if it helps more people, thats great, right? but how does the member feel when they know that nobody is actually listening to them and it's just a software algorithm to print words on a webpage? I think most of us would say the words have no meaning if they came from a robot. But this is the age we live in now, and it wont be long before people use/abuse it on this website - and every other website too!

is 7cups going to research an AI component (please dont bring up noni, its a great attempt but thats not true AI, it's just a humanized avatar that says pre-programmed lines, nothing like a real GPT bot) to leverage it to help people? Or is GPT and other AI language software going to be banned from the site due to it being fake and harmful? I'm just curious what people think. @GlennM @rarelyCharlie

@compassionateBalloon6666 I think we can have AI assistance with us, it can help prevent any violations of the listener conduct as it can check each response. Also, it can suggest us what to say based on the member's responses. AI can never replace human experience, human stories, and the ability to rephrase the member's problems in the modern human like way, using emojis etc :)

I am intrigued to see how things move forward with 7 Cups now that chatgpt is available. I'm not sure listeners can truly compete with AI responses sadly. There are people who are against the use of AI for now, but that may change the more people get used to it. I hope that it doesn't displace 7 Cups but it's a possibility that I think needs to be addressed by the leaders.
