Thanks for your reply. If technological developments are opened to the masses, as you said, the speed of development will jump. We're talking about a much higher rate of technological development than a closed development environment can provide. It will never reach its potential for development under the monopoly of companies that use technology and science like a cow for profit.

On the other hand, the current developments and potentials under the monopoly of these companies are more conducive to malicious use. The company, which, like OpenAI, was built on the axis of control and good purposes in the development of artificial intelligence, has now become Microsoft's cow. Microsoft, which fired the ethics team before the introduction of GPT-4, and similar companies prefer to use artificial intelligence to gain power and worship power in unethical ways from the very beginning.

Rather than protecting the public against a potential that could be used for malicious purposes, these companies may use this potential to serve "their" unethical purposes for their own profit. In this case, they turn into "bad guys" in order to prevent malicious people from using the technological potential for their own benefit.

Artificial intelligence and technological development potential should not be monopolized by anyone. In this way, we are responsible for raising awareness ourselves and raising the awareness of the masses by doing our part. The current hype should not blind people.

Yea, I'm sure that compact-ish distilled, specialised models trained on high quality, multimodal data is the way to go.

What's interesting, once generative models get good enough to produce synthetic data that is OF HIGHER QUALITY than laion/common crawl/etc, it should improve model quality which should allow to generate better synthetic data... not exactly singularity, but certainly one aspect of it :)

This is the kind of service you need to either run 'underground' - ie anonymously, or you need to go get all the right legal permissions and certificates in place.

Otherwise you'll end up with massive fines and/or in prison when one of your customers sends a long chat about depression and then commits suicide. At that point, authorities won't overlook the fact you aren't properly licensed.

I am pretty sure this goes against OAIs rules. Also since this used their API it can't ensure that the conversation are privet and as some other people already pointed out naming something Therapist is also not a good idea since it's a protected title in a lot of places.

Hello, thank you for the thoughtful feedback. At the moment I am still putting the finishing touches on the product. I am a coding student in a similar school to 42 School and have a small team helping me with development, including a professional psychologist. I haven't added the about page since I'm still working out all of the details, but please stay tuned as there is much more in the pipeline! Your questions are valid and I take my work very seriously.

Thank you very much again!

There is a problem with context length, but than given the fact that us humans have even less context length and can get carried away in conversation... I think 32kb context length is actually much greater leap in GPT4 than other metrics if you want it to tackle more complex tasks, but it is "double gated". Again, even humans have problems with long context even in pretty "undemanding" tasks like reading fiction, that's why books have chapters I presume :) Btw, anterograde amnesia is a good example how humans would look like w/o longterm memory, heh.

Anyway, I'm sure a set of more compact models trained on much more high-quality data is the way to go - or at least fine-tuned by high-quality data, coupled with APIs and other symbolic tools, and multimodality (sketches, graphs, charts) as input AND output is absolutely nessesary to have a system that can be more than "digital assistant".

For your own protection, since you seem to be based in the EU, I would also like to point out that offering this type of service to nationals of certain EU countries (where the practice of psychology is regulated) is prohibited and could expose you to legal liability.

Really? Where? You have a newly created account with no posts except the ones promoting this sus therapy bot.

Thank you for your comprehensive input.
- I have mixed feeling about opening/closing the technology. There are pros/cons to it. For example, we, especially people in this field have a strong curiosity about how giant technology solves their problems (like chatgpt). Therefore open-sourcing them will bring us rapid development in related fields (like the current AI development). However, I also understand that, malicious usage is also highly possible when doing so. For example, switching the reward function from chatgpt model from positive to negative may make a safe AI into the worst AI ever.
- Humans seem to not be able to stop technological advancement. Those technologies will come sooner or later.
- Yes I agree to preserve our rights today and the society should carefully think about how to deal with this unavoidable (AI-powered) future.

Alex, did you train in clinical psychology, psychotherapy or psychiatry? If not, does anyone on your team (if you have one) have a qualification in these areas? If not, why not?

Also, why does your "about" page not exist?

Who are you and what is your professional background?

Who else is involved in this project?

haha. Nice point.

I'm not sure whether it fulfil the definition of a search engine, but this work essentially mimics your experiences during googling: Google->got n websites->surf and find info one by one.

SearchGPT (or e.g. new Bing) attempted to automate this process. (Thus Google is unhappy)
