No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

i love ai bec it helps me with anxiety sometimes. and i discuss philosophy with it to make ideas then find someone irl to discuss it with.
As someone with their own bag of mental health issues, including anxiety, I really can't stress enough that you should seek a human health professional. They will help you much more than a robot ever could.
The other uses, eh whatever, even tho I hate ai as much as most people in this thread. But don't use it as a replacement for actual mental help
Sorry everyone here is acting in a way that likely will give you more anxiety.
AI has great potential in both directions. For many people, or in many instances, it will do the wrong thing and can produce dangerous outcomes (such as the psychosis people are referring to in this thread). But, if used responsibly alongside human assistance it is much more accessible and affordable (for now) than sets of mental health tools which are lacking in MANY ways and very few people would deny this.
I have seen it used both very well for health and also very poorly. It really depends on the skill of the user, just like most tools.
I think it's very valid to question why other people aren't getting the same results as you, but there's many reasons why. Someone who can't readily and accurately describe their situation or needs will suffer from choosing to learn from an AI, where as someone who is more knowledgeable about the topic, logic or communication is more likely to get benefit. The challenge is that... These people don't know how to differentiate between the two groups and all will end up with mistakes from the AI affecting them.
thank you for your response. but whatever i say they wont believe that ai helped me be less anxious. even tho it did
Be careful about it
Fuckin yikes dawg.
I'd get it if you liked it because it helps you understand calculus 3 or some stem shit, but thinking it's helping with your mental health is mad yikes.
There are low cost resources out there to get legit help. Also, group therapy ain't that bad. Using AI to "discus" philosophy or to ease your anxiety is self sucking. You're not really broadening yourself, you're allowing it to create an algorithm that you prefer and then it uses what it's learned to jerk you off.
it did help me with mental health tho
lol
Because before AI nobody ever managed to install Linux!
Where do you think AI gets its Linux-installing knowledge from? A gazillion blogs explaining how to install Linux.
im still new to linux i dont understand the complex guided yet.
you don't discuss anything... you search things on the internet and it gas lights you into believing. it's not a conversation, it's a prompt..it's 1 way dialogue.
it doesn't help with anxiety..it gas lights you into thinking it does. it makes you reliant on it. you consider it help so you put your guard down while it slowly erodes your critical and logical thinking skills to the point where you won't be able to function without it...resulting in massive anxiety and most likely being thrown over the top as a result of not being able to access it 24/7 for whether reason.
i do prompt ai to take an opposing view and debate me so it does.
also it did help me with my anxiety.
But does it do any worse than c/linux? Does it gaslight you into nixos and give you anxiety about rollbacks/rebuilds? /s /jk
Installing Linux is possible with human written guides the slop is pushing out.
Anxiety and mental health should be fixed by people not a computer program to confirm your own biases.

Get the fuck away from me, Todd. I don't wanna hear about your weird conversation with AI about philosophy.
