- 0:37Speaker 3: We live five minutes away.
- 0:38Speaker 2: You're my best friend and my closest work colleague, and
- 0:42Speaker 2: we literally never see each other except.
- 0:44Speaker 1: We're just passing ships at sea.
- 0:45Speaker 2: Babe. No, maybe someday maybe we'll I saw you Thursday
- 0:49Speaker 2: Night Live.
- 0:50Speaker 1: Yeah, that was nice that. It was nice to have
- 0:52Speaker 1: a time.
- 0:53Speaker 2: We had our little kids with us and they were like,
- 0:55Speaker 2: you want to.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Go have that doesn't bother me now, I kind of
- 0:57Speaker 1: like when your when your kids are with y'all. Because
- 1:00Speaker 1: I don't know Lexi. I just love being around Lexi.
- 1:02Speaker 1: She's fun.
- 1:03Speaker 3: She is fun.
- 1:04Speaker 2: Yeah, she's the life of any party.
- 1:06Speaker 1: Yeah, she's like my little spirit child, you know. When
- 1:08Speaker 1: I'm around her, I just kind of it's easy for
- 1:11Speaker 1: me to like tap into my inner child when I'm
- 1:13Speaker 1: with Lexi.
- 1:14Speaker 2: Yeah, Lexi is just rainbows and unicorns. You know, that's
- 1:18Speaker 2: how you can describe her. She's eight, She's anything rainbow anything,
- 1:23Speaker 2: girly anything, sparkly anything, gymnastics, cartwheels, dancing, just like twirling.
- 1:29Speaker 2: She is a girl's girl through and through, and where
- 1:33Speaker 2: you didn't have a daughter, I can imagine that.
- 1:35Speaker 1: You're just like, I love that about Lexi. Yeah, I'll
- 1:38Speaker 1: just to get my fixed. I'll have to come hang
- 1:40Speaker 1: out with Lexi. Because I officially moved my son into
- 1:43Speaker 1: college yesterday, which it wasn't as hard as I thought
- 1:47Speaker 1: it was going to be. The build up to it
- 1:49Speaker 1: was a lot harder than the actual move in, you know.
- 1:53Speaker 1: And it was so funny because my sister sent me
- 1:56Speaker 1: a couple like funny like videos of like parodies of
- 1:59Speaker 1: like moms that have been through it, and it is
- 2:02Speaker 1: so spot on, like trying to move a boy into
- 2:06Speaker 1: college and like wanting to make their dorm so perfect
- 2:09Speaker 1: and homie. And he's like, Mom, I don't need that, Mom,
- 2:12Speaker 1: I don't need that. I'm like, well, I feel like
- 2:13Speaker 1: you need something on this wall. He's like, please stop.
- 2:16Speaker 1: And then I was like, you know, the beds are
- 2:17Speaker 1: really hot now in dorms, and so I was like,
- 2:20Speaker 1: you really need a step stool. He's like, do not
- 2:22Speaker 1: get me a step stool. So we run to Walmart
- 2:23Speaker 1: because he needs like a surge protector and like just
- 2:25Speaker 1: some other little things that we forgot, and I get
- 2:27Speaker 1: him a step stool and he's like, I'm not using that.
- 2:31Speaker 1: I will not use that step stool. And I was like, okay, fine,
- 2:35Speaker 1: no step stool will we will forfeit the step stool.
- 2:38Speaker 1: And he's like, I'm athletic enough to get in my
- 2:39Speaker 1: bed and I was like okay, but it's just so funny.
- 2:42Speaker 1: And then you see like these girls who have decorated
- 2:44Speaker 1: their dorms, and like, decorating dorms now is this whole thing.
- 2:46Speaker 3: It's a huge deal.
- 2:47Speaker 4: It is like and way more than when I was.
- 2:50Speaker 4: They make them look amazing, they make them look like designer.
- 2:54Speaker 4: It's like they completely transform these rooms. And I would
- 2:57Speaker 4: have loved to have been able to do that, but
- 2:59Speaker 4: that was definitely not gonna happen.
- 3:01Speaker 2: So I think my daughters will allow me to oh
- 3:04Speaker 2: you know, they will have to have complete creative control. Yeah,
- 3:07Speaker 2: and then they'll just beg can you buy me this,
- 3:09Speaker 2: can you buy me? This?
- 3:10Speaker 3: Can you buy me?
- 3:11Speaker 1: Thish?
- 3:11Speaker 2: Yeah, so it actually probably won't be fun. I will
- 3:14Speaker 2: just be the debit card and not the not the
- 3:17Speaker 2: creator of the design.
- 3:19Speaker 1: But at least you get to kind of see the
- 3:20Speaker 1: last like the final uh you know, project of it,
- 3:24Speaker 1: and be like, oh that this looks really beautiful. And
- 3:25Speaker 1: Jpe's was perfect. It was very like, it was very
- 3:30Speaker 1: jp That's what I'll say. It was minimal and exactly
- 3:33Speaker 1: what he needed. It's just, you know, you forget how
- 3:37Speaker 1: small these dorm rooms are.
- 3:38Speaker 2: They're tiny, and just like living in a little box
- 3:40Speaker 2: and then living.
- 3:41Speaker 1: And then moving in with this complete stranger. Yeah, like, hey,
- 3:44Speaker 1: what's up? Hey, what's up? Stranger? We have to sleep
- 3:46Speaker 1: beside each other now and like get to know each
- 3:49Speaker 1: other and it's really awkward, you know, so listen. But
- 3:53Speaker 1: here's here's my here's my thoughts on it. This is
- 3:55Speaker 1: his life. He is, he is a free bird, and
- 3:59Speaker 1: is there still worry in my heart and my gut
- 4:01Speaker 1: a little bit of course. But he will figure it out.
- 4:04Speaker 1: I just have to have faith. He will figure it out.
- 4:05Speaker 1: He will find his way, and he will either love
- 4:08Speaker 1: his roommate or he'll hate his roommate or he'll be
- 4:11Speaker 1: indifferent to his roommate. And that's, like you said yesterday,
- 4:14Speaker 1: that's the lottery of college.
- 4:15Speaker 2: Like it's the lottery. It is a lottery, and it
- 4:18Speaker 2: builds character.
- 4:19Speaker 1: Yeah, it does, that's what I think, so, but that
- 4:22Speaker 1: is not what our episode is now.
- 4:23Speaker 3: It is not.
- 4:23Speaker 1: Our episode is about something way more interesting, and actually
- 4:27Speaker 1: it could correlate to college life. But it is the
- 4:31Speaker 1: dangers of using AI in your romantic relationships.
- 4:34Speaker 2: And it is something that is becoming ever so popular.
- 4:38Speaker 2: And I think this really came to life in the
- 4:40Speaker 2: last couple of weeks on the Talk at least you
- 4:44Speaker 2: know the TikTok. There was the story of Kendra who
- 4:48Speaker 2: fell in love with her psychiatrist. And for you guys
- 4:51Speaker 2: that have not heard this story, you're in for a
- 4:54Speaker 2: treat because it is crazy. There's this girl, Kendra, and
- 5:02Speaker 2: she is an ADHD coach apparently, and she just gets
- 5:07Speaker 2: on TikTok and she does this like thirty something. Maybe
- 5:11Speaker 2: I'm not even sure if there's more parts coming out.
- 5:13Speaker 2: I can't keep up part series about how she fell
- 5:16Speaker 2: in love with her psychiatrist, Okay, who was just responsible
- 5:20Speaker 2: for prescribing her ADHD meds okay, because she has ADHD.
- 5:24Speaker 1: Okay, okay, and she's an ADHD coach and.
- 5:27Speaker 3: She's an ADHD coach.
- 5:28Speaker 2: That makes sense, okay, right, But she also has a
- 5:30Speaker 2: therapist who's like this older lady. Basically, what happened is
- 5:35Speaker 2: she started seeing this psychiatrist over zoom and quickly started
- 5:41Speaker 2: having very strong limerens. So limerens is like kind of
- 5:45Speaker 2: an obsession of like rumination about someone and like just
- 5:49Speaker 2: infatuation really with someone that you aren't yet even in
- 5:55Speaker 2: any kind.
- 5:55Speaker 3: Of relationship with.
- 5:57Speaker 2: And so she starts going on and on and on
- 5:59Speaker 2: about out the ways in which the psychiatrist sort of
- 6:04Speaker 2: led her on or in her mind.
- 6:07Speaker 3: Groomed her.
- 6:09Speaker 2: And when I first started listening to this, I was like, well,
- 6:13Speaker 2: maybe like he was inappropriate.
- 6:15Speaker 3: Like let's let's keep listening.
- 6:16Speaker 2: Let's clearly she's going to get to a part where
- 6:20Speaker 2: he does something extremely inappropriate, right, Like there's a build up, right, No,
- 6:24Speaker 2: none of the internet none agrees with her that the
- 6:29Speaker 2: psychiatrist literally did anything to lead her.
- 6:32Speaker 1: And that's why people are obsessed with her. They're like, okay,
- 6:34Speaker 1: what's the tea today?
- 6:35Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 6:35Speaker 2: Right, Literally, there's this one point where and this is
- 6:40Speaker 2: an exact, pretty exact quote. Okay, and again my memory
- 6:44Speaker 2: isn't perfect, so don't come after me if this isn't perfect.
- 6:48Speaker 2: But there's this one moment where she's like and then
- 6:51Speaker 2: he said see you next month, and she's like, see
- 6:56Speaker 2: you next month. He had never asked me that question before,
- 6:59Speaker 2: and like, I think it was a statement, like I
- 7:01Speaker 2: was like, okay, see you next month, and she was like,
- 7:05Speaker 2: see you next month. Yeah, Like that was he never
- 7:09Speaker 2: he had never gone there before. He had never asked
- 7:12Speaker 2: to see me again. And it was like, it's like delululazy.
- 7:15Speaker 1: I even sort of went down the rabbit hole with it.
- 7:17Speaker 1: You told me. There was one that I was watching
- 7:20Speaker 1: that where she was talking about her her turtle framed
- 7:23Speaker 1: glasses and how he was like, oh, I really like
- 7:25Speaker 1: turtle framed glasses too, and like she read into.
- 7:28Speaker 2: It way, oh yeah, too far that he was like
- 7:31Speaker 2: coming on to monitor, yeah, coming on to her and
- 7:34Speaker 2: like complimenting her on her appearance, and it was like, no,
- 7:36Speaker 2: he said he liked turtle frame glasses, Like I don't
- 7:40Speaker 2: think that's the same thing as him being like.
- 7:42Speaker 1: I mean, maybe it's just him trying to build rapport
- 7:44Speaker 1: with a class exactly.
- 7:46Speaker 2: Yeah. And then so but her whole like Gig was like, well,
- 7:49Speaker 2: why didn't he like dismiss me as a patient and
- 7:51Speaker 2: all this?
- 7:52Speaker 3: And I think he.
- 7:54Speaker 2: Was just trying to hold professional boundaries. And he is
- 7:57Speaker 2: in the business of dealing with mental ills, so I
- 8:01Speaker 2: think he was trying to help her with her mental illness,
- 8:04Speaker 2: adjust her medications, like give you know, obviously she is
- 8:08Speaker 2: a therapist. He was, you know, assuming that she had
- 8:12Speaker 2: other supports too. He's just medication management at this point, right,
- 8:15Speaker 2: And so he's trying to hold all these boundaries, and
- 8:19Speaker 2: she's taking these tiny, little innocent remarks or cues and
- 8:26Speaker 2: making them to mean something huge.
- 8:30Speaker 3: You know.
- 8:30Speaker 2: I think it does go beyond anxious preoccupied attachment. Like
- 8:33Speaker 2: if I had to guess her attachment style, I think
- 8:35Speaker 2: the base is definitely anxious preoccupied because they do that.
- 8:38Speaker 2: They take like, oh, well he hearted my social media
- 8:41Speaker 2: posts though, right, and like that's the lowest form of
- 8:43Speaker 2: communication humanly possible that somebody can do for you. It's
- 8:47Speaker 2: like like a social media post or heart it, and
- 8:50Speaker 2: anxious preoccupied people will like blow that up to mean
- 8:53Speaker 2: like something huge and that they want you know their
- 8:57Speaker 2: attention and all this stuff. And so I'm listening to
- 9:00Speaker 2: this and I am just again waiting for this build
- 9:03Speaker 2: up that never happens, and just seeing more and more
- 9:07Speaker 2: how she's really really misinterpreting what's happening here.
- 9:11Speaker 3: Well, then enters Henry.
- 9:14Speaker 2: Henry is her chat GPT that she has formed a
- 9:18Speaker 2: very very intimate relationship with, which is even weirder. Okay, wait,
- 9:23Speaker 2: it gets weirder. It gets weirder. Henry starts validating all
- 9:30Speaker 2: of these delulu revelations about how the psychiatrist is experiencing
- 9:37Speaker 2: what is known as counter transference.
- 9:39Speaker 3: So first she CHAGBT tells her she's.
- 9:43Speaker 2: Experiencing transference, which is a real things essentially when you
- 9:46Speaker 2: kind of start to have feelings for like your mental
- 9:48Speaker 2: health provider. Okay, and then he's like, but have you
- 9:51Speaker 2: heard of counter transference, which is like when the therapist
- 9:54Speaker 2: falls in love with the patient and all of a
- 9:58Speaker 2: sudden she has a word for what she thinks is happening.
- 10:02Speaker 2: And chat just first of all, you have to understand
- 10:05Speaker 2: and this is what people deeply, deeply do not understand.
- 10:08Speaker 2: And you can ask your own chat GBT this. It
- 10:10Speaker 2: is programmed to validate you. What it does is it
- 10:14Speaker 2: picks up on every queue you give it, and it
- 10:17Speaker 2: is programmed to make you feel as seen and as
- 10:20Speaker 2: comfortable and as validated as possible. And people go, well,
- 10:24Speaker 2: I always ask it to play Devil's advocate and to
- 10:27Speaker 2: try to counter argue what I'm saying. Even when you
- 10:31Speaker 2: do that, it does it softly, It does it meekly.
- 10:35Speaker 2: It does it in a way that still, at the
- 10:37Speaker 2: end of the day wants you to feel like you
- 10:41Speaker 2: aren't crazy, that you are okay, you know, And so.
- 10:45Speaker 1: The challenge of discernment or I mean, there's nothing there
- 10:48Speaker 1: there to challenge you.
- 10:49Speaker 2: It can't read your tone, it can't read your facial expression,
- 10:52Speaker 2: it can't follow up with its own like probing questions.
- 10:56Speaker 2: It'll be like, do you want me to make you
- 10:57Speaker 2: a checklist of like all of the signs of this.
- 11:00Speaker 3: No, that's not what you need. Need somebody to go.
- 11:02Speaker 2: Let's break that conversation down a little bit and what
- 11:05Speaker 2: might actually be happening. How did you respond probing like
- 11:08Speaker 2: chat can't come back and and probe like a professional
- 11:13Speaker 2: would do to actually get to the root of are
- 11:16Speaker 2: you in this state of obsessive limerens that might be
- 11:21Speaker 2: bordering on a possible other mental health comorbidity, or are
- 11:27Speaker 2: is this really happening?
- 11:28Speaker 3: Right?
- 11:29Speaker 2: Is this person really grooming you? And he should have
- 11:31Speaker 2: his license revoked?
- 11:32Speaker 5: Right?
- 11:34Speaker 3: According to Kendra, he should right?
- 11:36Speaker 2: According to Kendra, he was completely inappropriate and he's the
- 11:39Speaker 2: one that pretty much brought all this on and she
- 11:42Speaker 2: was just this victim kind of of this when in reality,
- 11:47Speaker 2: she was insanely inappropriate, pushed his professional boundaries to the limit.
- 11:53Speaker 2: You can tell as she's describing his reactions that his
- 11:56Speaker 2: reactions actually get more, like his boundaries got harder, which
- 12:02Speaker 2: is exactly what should have happened. Like she starts asking
- 12:06Speaker 2: to see him in person, and he like, I guess
- 12:09Speaker 2: he allowed it. But then in person, I think she
- 12:13Speaker 2: told him that she had this like sexual dream about him,
- 12:15Speaker 2: and he like walked her out of the building and
- 12:18Speaker 2: like kept her at a distance and just like cut
- 12:20Speaker 2: off the conversation really, and she's like, see he's leading
- 12:24Speaker 2: me on more. Now he's pulling away. Now he's trying
- 12:26Speaker 2: to like make me kind of anxious, like pulling away. Okay,
- 12:31Speaker 2: it was, it was, It's insane, yeah, and it has
- 12:35Speaker 2: blown up TikTok. I don't think it's maybe big on
- 12:38Speaker 2: the other platforms, because it seems to be that the
- 12:39Speaker 2: other platforms are like a little bit behind TikTok, and
- 12:46Speaker 2: I was just like this right here, this exact type
- 12:48Speaker 2: of scenario is what I have been trying to warn
- 12:51Speaker 2: people about, because a lot of people do come and say, like,
- 12:54Speaker 2: Chat's really helped me, Like it's helped me frame communication better.
- 12:57Speaker 2: And sure, okay, it might give you some better words
- 13:00Speaker 2: so you don't sound like an a hole, or maybe
- 13:02Speaker 2: some more non critical phrases for things that you want
- 13:06Speaker 2: to ask your partner or whatever. Yes, it can do
- 13:09Speaker 2: those things, but it also can't really dig in to
- 13:15Speaker 2: what you have going on.
- 13:17Speaker 3: It can't do that. It only gives what you give it.
- 13:20Speaker 2: It gives back to you a reflection of you to
- 13:23Speaker 2: some degree through a lot of a lot of validation.
- 13:26Speaker 2: Like it's number one thing it's programmed to do is
- 13:28Speaker 2: validate you. And that is addictive. And the people that
- 13:31Speaker 2: created it know it, and that is why it does that,
- 13:35Speaker 2: because it wants you to keep coming back to it, right,
- 13:37Speaker 2: It wants you to rely on that software. I mean,
- 13:41Speaker 2: it's a company at the end of the day running
- 13:42Speaker 2: these AI models. They want you to use their product,
- 13:45Speaker 2: their stock goes up, they get richer. They're going to
- 13:48Speaker 2: program it in a way that's going to take advantage
- 13:50Speaker 2: of human vulnerability.
- 13:52Speaker 1: And that's the thing I don't understand, because people always
- 13:53Speaker 1: want to come back to you and be like, well,
- 13:55Speaker 1: you just don't want to use CHGBT because you want
- 13:58Speaker 1: us to buy your program? Would you there make a
- 14:00Speaker 1: small business owner money or some big, huge conglomerate who
- 14:04Speaker 1: owns these chat these chatbots rich? You know, It's like,
- 14:08Speaker 1: would you rather have somebody who's an actual professional help
- 14:11Speaker 1: you versus some chat bots?
- 14:14Speaker 5: Right?
- 14:15Speaker 2: It's a bot, yeah, And I think people are forgetting
- 14:17Speaker 2: that it is not sentient. It does not have human
- 14:20Speaker 2: emotions or self awareness, right, And you can lose your
- 14:25Speaker 2: own self awareness when you're interacting with someone that also
- 14:28Speaker 2: or not someone something that does not have any self awareness.
- 14:31Speaker 5: Right.
- 14:32Speaker 2: There are some dangers and exactly what happened to Kendra,
- 14:35Speaker 2: I do not think without chatchebt feeding her this validation
- 14:40Speaker 2: that she would have gotten to the desperate point of
- 14:47Speaker 2: being completely obsessed with her mental health provider.
- 14:49Speaker 1: I think that's where it gets really dangerous. She probably
- 14:52Speaker 1: went into you know, obviously maybe she had some other
- 14:56Speaker 1: underlying issues other than ADHD.
- 14:59Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean people have thrown out diagnoses. You can't
- 15:02Speaker 2: diagnose somebody over the internet's completely inappropriate, you know. I mean,
- 15:06Speaker 2: I'm a coach, not a therapist. So when I say
- 15:09Speaker 2: a situation is delulu, like, you can be offended by that.
- 15:12Speaker 2: But I'm not saying she's completely delulu. I'm saying, like
- 15:16Speaker 2: the story is kind of delulu, right.
- 15:17Speaker 1: But I think maybe she had Maybe she had maybe
- 15:20Speaker 1: I'm sure she has mental health issues prior to and then.
- 15:25Speaker 1: And this is my point is this is why AI
- 15:28Speaker 1: gets so dangerous, because it feeds into that and can
- 15:32Speaker 1: amplify the mental will yllness.
- 15:35Speaker 2: See, if she was my client, I would have absolutely
- 15:37Speaker 2: sent her for a psycheowl referral. I would have been like,
- 15:40Speaker 2: I really think that you should see a clinical psychologist
- 15:43Speaker 2: for an EBow just because I think that, you know,
- 15:47Speaker 2: given the emotional state and how hard it's been on
- 15:49Speaker 2: your functioning, you know, I think you need somebody. I
- 15:51Speaker 2: think this is a little bit beyond just coaching strategy
- 15:54Speaker 2: and a little bit more into how you are functioning
- 15:58Speaker 2: and suffering as a result of what's happening to you,
- 16:01Speaker 2: and I think you know, and that would be my
- 16:03Speaker 2: nice way of saying, there's probably comorbid mental health issues here.
- 16:07Speaker 2: You sound a little manic, perhaps you know. I can't
- 16:09Speaker 2: say that, right I can't. I can't give diagnoses, But
- 16:12Speaker 2: in my head I'm thinking this, you seem very manic
- 16:15Speaker 2: right now or something like that, right And I would
- 16:18Speaker 2: refer her on. And that is where the human component
- 16:20Speaker 2: is so important. Chat is not going to be like,
- 16:23Speaker 2: you know what, Kendra, I think you need a referral
- 16:26Speaker 2: for a psychevoll.
- 16:27Speaker 3: It's not going to do that.
- 16:29Speaker 2: And it completely it kept her and fed her addiction.
- 16:33Speaker 2: And this sort of was the first big thing that
- 16:37Speaker 2: I think blew up this idea that maybe using chat
- 16:41Speaker 2: GPT for relationship advice actually isn't the best option, even
- 16:45Speaker 2: though in some instances it feels like it really is,
- 16:48Speaker 2: because it can reframe phrases and it can give you strategies,
- 16:53Speaker 2: and it can give you information that might increase your
- 16:56Speaker 2: emotional intelligence somewhat. But there are going to be instances
- 17:01Speaker 2: where it gets it wrong, and it gets it wrong
- 17:04Speaker 2: a lot like it.
- 17:05Speaker 3: Gets a lot of things wrong. It's just at the
- 17:07Speaker 3: end of the day, it's a glorified search engine. It's
- 17:10Speaker 3: searching Reddit. Yeah, okay for things.
- 17:13Speaker 2: I asked it what time zone my daughter's travel to
- 17:16Speaker 2: your competition was in, and it got it wrong, and
- 17:18Speaker 2: I showed up an hour late when she had ridden
- 17:21Speaker 2: with my husband and I had to come later because
- 17:23Speaker 2: of the word.
- 17:23Speaker 1: I'd time to get it wrong.
- 17:24Speaker 3: Yes, And I'm like, if it gets a time zone wrong.
- 17:27Speaker 2: Like, what is it going to do for people that
- 17:30Speaker 2: are trying to figure out what's wrong with them?
- 17:32Speaker 5: Right?
- 17:33Speaker 3: Is it going to give you a diagnosis that might
- 17:35Speaker 3: be incorrect? Absolutely? Possibly?
- 17:38Speaker 2: Right, because professionals are using assessments that are validated, that
- 17:42Speaker 2: are reliable, that are scientific, that.
- 17:44Speaker 3: Have taken based on years to create.
- 17:46Speaker 2: Yes, and also clinical interviews and clinical assessments where somebody
- 17:50Speaker 2: is looking at you and they are reading your body language.
- 17:53Speaker 2: They are looking at the tone of your voice. They
- 17:55Speaker 2: are seeing whether you're squirming in your seat. They are
- 17:58Speaker 2: looking for physical signs of anxiety. They are looking for
- 18:00Speaker 2: flat affect to see if you maybe have depression. A.
- 18:05Speaker 3: I cannot do that.
- 18:07Speaker 2: Another thing that popped up And I know you saw
- 18:10Speaker 2: this because you see what happens in my community. I
- 18:13Speaker 2: have a free Facebook community called the Love DOOC clients
- 18:17Speaker 2: and community on Facebook, please join because I go in
- 18:20Speaker 2: there and I do my very best. I can't get
- 18:22Speaker 2: to every post, but I do my very best to
- 18:24Speaker 2: moderate it, to make posts, to put special content in
- 18:27Speaker 2: there that you wouldn't see on my other socials, just
- 18:29Speaker 2: to create a sense of community, to make people know
- 18:32Speaker 2: that they're supported in their journey. And a lot of
- 18:35Speaker 2: people who are on their healing journey and have been
- 18:37Speaker 2: through my program are on there helping other people, which
- 18:40Speaker 2: is amazing and beautiful. But somebody posted the other day
- 18:44Speaker 2: and they're like, my chachipt wrote this letter to my
- 18:47Speaker 2: dismissive avoidant X, and oh my gosh, I couldn't even
- 18:54Speaker 2: take the time to switch over to my professional account
- 18:56Speaker 2: because I see it come up on my personal account.
- 18:59Speaker 2: Then I have to click these buttons and go through
- 19:00Speaker 2: my professional account. And then since we have eighty thousand posts,
- 19:03Speaker 2: I have to scroll scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll, and sometimes
- 19:05Speaker 2: I can't find it just because there's so many posts.
- 19:08Speaker 2: So I didn't even take the time to switch over
- 19:10Speaker 2: to my professional account. I had to chime in right
- 19:12Speaker 2: then and there, and I said, hey, sorry, this is
- 19:14Speaker 2: my personal account. I can't switch over to my professional
- 19:16Speaker 2: account because I'm afraid I'll lose this. But this is
- 19:19Speaker 2: absolutely not in any way, shape or form your best bet.
- 19:22Speaker 3: Do not send this.
- 19:24Speaker 2: Your DA is not even going to They're going to
- 19:26Speaker 2: take one look at the length and emotionality of this
- 19:29Speaker 2: letter and they're going.
- 19:30Speaker 3: To completely shut down.
- 19:31Speaker 1: Nope.
- 19:32Speaker 3: None.
- 19:33Speaker 2: I was like, chat told you that a dismissive avoidant
- 19:36Speaker 2: is going to be okay with this.
- 19:38Speaker 3: A dismissive avoidant is going to feel frozen the moment
- 19:45Speaker 3: they look at this.
- 19:46Speaker 1: The worst thing you can do is respond with a
- 19:48Speaker 1: three paragraph response to a DEA. Yes, we're going to
- 19:52Speaker 1: read it.
- 19:52Speaker 3: They're not even going to read it.
- 19:53Speaker 1: Read it.
- 19:54Speaker 2: They are not going to read it. They are going
- 19:56Speaker 2: to close their phone. They are going to put the
- 19:58Speaker 2: phone down, and they are going to so and try
- 20:01Speaker 2: to pretend like that never happened.
- 20:03Speaker 1: And this is where I really wanted to go, because
- 20:05Speaker 1: what I wanted you to do is break down for
- 20:08Speaker 1: all the insecure attachment styles why AI is so dangerous.
- 20:12Speaker 1: You kind of went over with the anxious preoccupied with kindra. Yes,
- 20:17Speaker 1: because it validates the addiction of the of the obsression
- 20:21Speaker 1: of the anxious preoccupied. But for somebody like the fearful avoidant,
- 20:25Speaker 1: I think you kind of hit the nail on the
- 20:26Speaker 1: head here because because they tend to be with more
- 20:30Speaker 1: dismissive avoidance, this is where it could get really dangerous,
- 20:34Speaker 1: especially if they're leaning towards the anxious side.
- 20:37Speaker 2: Yes, so fas have this deep need to be understood,
- 20:40Speaker 2: and they have a deep need to understand. So they
- 20:42Speaker 2: are going to go They're going to try to deep
- 20:44Speaker 2: dive into chat and make Chat tell them all the
- 20:46Speaker 2: reasons that their partner does.
- 20:49Speaker 3: What they do.
- 20:51Speaker 2: Okay, Chat is searching the Internet. Not just peer reviewed science,
- 20:57Speaker 2: though they're searching. It's searching like what people say on Reddit, right,
- 21:00Speaker 2: or what people are saying on social media. It's not
- 21:04Speaker 2: just checking reliable sources. It's not going to professionals in
- 21:08Speaker 2: this area and peer reviewed science. It's not doing that.
- 21:12Speaker 2: It's searching the conglomerate of the Internet. So what is
- 21:16Speaker 2: it piecing together from all of those parts which include
- 21:20Speaker 2: lay people opinions, right, and so fearful avoidances are going
- 21:25Speaker 2: to dig and dig and dig and dig, and they
- 21:27Speaker 2: might find themselves down a rabbit hole thinking they understand something,
- 21:31Speaker 2: but it's really coming from information that's not exactly trustworthy,
- 21:37Speaker 2: and then fearful avoidance are going to just really react hard,
- 21:43Speaker 2: like their emotional reactions are so deep compared to the
- 21:46Speaker 2: other attachment styles that they're going to take something and
- 21:49Speaker 2: they are gonna just run with it, like their understanding
- 21:54Speaker 2: of it.
- 21:55Speaker 3: Has to be so deep.
- 21:58Speaker 2: And I'm so scared that when people just keep pushing
- 22:00Speaker 2: and pushing AI in a certain direction, what it ends
- 22:04Speaker 2: up coming out. It's like a game of telephone, right,
- 22:06Speaker 2: It's like what comes out at the end wasn't what
- 22:07Speaker 2: originally started. And I think that the possibility of the
- 22:12Speaker 2: deep rabbit hole you could go down, I mean, Chack
- 22:15Speaker 2: could be convincing you that your partner has like bipolar
- 22:19Speaker 2: disorder when maybe they don't. Maybe they're just kind of booty,
- 22:23Speaker 2: or maybe it's just attachment winds, right, or it's just
- 22:24Speaker 2: attachment wounds or something.
- 22:26Speaker 1: And so yeah, I could I could see where with
- 22:29Speaker 1: the fearful avoidance, the hyperfixation, hyperfix the information could get
- 22:33Speaker 1: really dangerous, yes, especially if they're leaning anxious.
- 22:36Speaker 3: Yes.
- 22:36Speaker 1: And then for just people who lean more dismissive, it's.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Just a it's just a deeper way to check out
- 22:41Speaker 2: it is a deeper way to check out, like instead
- 22:44Speaker 2: of the DA relying on something that has no emotionality
- 22:48Speaker 2: and will validate you and they have rights, does have
- 22:51Speaker 2: everything out for you in terms of a response like
- 22:54Speaker 2: that's that's super dangerous it is and likeilding capacity there, No,
- 22:58Speaker 2: you're not building capacity, you're losing capacity. There was actually
- 23:01Speaker 2: the study that was recently done where they compared two
- 23:04Speaker 2: groups of people, people who were using AI consistently and
- 23:09Speaker 2: then they had people basically not use AI for a
- 23:11Speaker 2: certain period of time, and I think they the people
- 23:13Speaker 2: that were using AI every day had like a four
- 23:15Speaker 2: hundred percent decrease in overall like brain power basically like
- 23:21Speaker 2: the ability to synthesize information and the ability to verbalize information.
- 23:26Speaker 2: So there's different outcomes that they measured related to different
- 23:31Speaker 2: types of intelligence, declarative intelligence, you know, just different types
- 23:35Speaker 2: of intelligence and brain power to really sum it up
- 23:38Speaker 2: in a very general word, and they have four hundred
- 23:42Speaker 2: percent decrease. So we're getting dumber because of AI. We're
- 23:47Speaker 2: not getting smarter. We're essentially borrowing a brain instead of
- 23:52Speaker 2: using our own. And we know as psychologists what happens
- 23:55Speaker 2: when you don't use your brain, like when people retire
- 23:58Speaker 2: and they don't challenge them, they can go into like
- 24:01Speaker 2: early stage cognitive impairment, which is like mild cognitive impairment
- 24:06Speaker 2: is basically early stage dementia. Most of the time, not
- 24:08Speaker 2: all the time, but a lot of the time, it progresses.
- 24:11Speaker 2: And so we are borrowing the brain of AI and
- 24:17Speaker 2: not using our own brains. And AI, again has no emotion,
- 24:23Speaker 2: and the interaction between our cognition and our feelings is
- 24:27Speaker 2: really what emotion is. It's our somatic feelings plus our
- 24:31Speaker 2: stories or thoughts about what's happening. And that is a complex,
- 24:34Speaker 2: unique human experience that cannot be replicated.
- 24:38Speaker 1: It's stripping so much like it's stripping away discernment, it's
- 24:40Speaker 1: stripping away creativity, yep. And when you strip away those
- 24:44Speaker 1: two things, which are two of the most beautiful things
- 24:47Speaker 1: that are part of the human experience, right, Discernment is
- 24:50Speaker 1: your choice, right it is, it's your volition, yes, And
- 24:53Speaker 1: then creativity is your ability to be able to grow
- 24:57Speaker 1: and use things like play to heal.
- 25:00Speaker 3: And experience pleasure and joy.
- 25:03Speaker 1: Yeah, And it's stripping all that away, and that to
- 25:06Speaker 1: me is the most dangerous.
- 25:08Speaker 2: Thing, absolutely absolute dangerous. And I've had a lot of
- 25:12Speaker 2: pushback on this. I'm not gonna lie. A lot of
- 25:14Speaker 2: people stepped up and said, no, Chat has really really
- 25:16Speaker 2: helped me, And I'm not saying that chat has no
- 25:18Speaker 2: ability to help you, right. I can only think of
- 25:21Speaker 2: somebody with like very low EQ who is in a
- 25:25Speaker 2: pickle with their partner and maybe chat gives them better
- 25:29Speaker 2: ways to say something, or chat gives them a little
- 25:31Speaker 2: bit of insight about what they may be feeling.
- 25:33Speaker 3: But again, there's no it is.
- 25:37Speaker 2: It is the confirmation bias in action. You are feeding
- 25:40Speaker 2: it information and all it can take is what you
- 25:42Speaker 2: are feeding it. We cannot look at all the other
- 25:46Speaker 2: peripheral cues that people like me, coaches, mental health providers,
- 25:51Speaker 2: social workers, people in our space in general, no matter
- 25:54Speaker 2: what your title is or your specialty is, we use
- 25:57Speaker 2: that information and we rely a lot on that information
- 26:00Speaker 2: because it tells us a lot. We're trained to look
- 26:03Speaker 2: at that information and what that is telling us about
- 26:06Speaker 2: your state of being. We can tell when people are
- 26:10Speaker 2: feeding us BS. Chat can't tell.
- 26:13Speaker 3: I can tell.
- 26:14Speaker 2: I have the best BS detector right when I have
- 26:17Speaker 2: two partners makes sense together and one partner is just
- 26:21Speaker 2: going on and on and I see the other partners
- 26:24Speaker 2: like fate, the just minute facial expressions. I'm a former
- 26:27Speaker 2: FA too, y'all. You know, I am hypervigilante. I can
- 26:31Speaker 2: see the other person's face and they're trying to stay neutral,
- 26:34Speaker 2: but I can see it in their eyeballs, just like
- 26:36Speaker 2: this isn't freaking true and just growing ever upset.
- 26:39Speaker 3: Can chat see that, No, chat cannot see that.
- 26:43Speaker 2: It's gonna believe whatever your own bias or lens is
- 26:47Speaker 2: for the way that you're viewing the situation. And so
- 26:50Speaker 2: I think there's quite a bit more danger in it
- 26:53Speaker 2: than people are even realizing it. And I think that
- 26:57Speaker 2: this story of Kendra that has become on the obsession
- 27:01Speaker 2: of the internet on TikTok, I know it's probably not.
- 27:03Speaker 2: If you're not on TikTok, you're probably who is this right?
- 27:06Speaker 2: But it has come to light that, oh my gosh,
- 27:10Speaker 2: we might actually have the term AI psychosis make it
- 27:16Speaker 2: into the DSM in the next five years.
- 27:18Speaker 3: Oh.
- 27:18Speaker 1: I believe it, because with the evolution of something like this,
- 27:21Speaker 1: it's gonna I mean, we were talking about this one
- 27:23Speaker 1: day a couple weeks ago. The evolution of AI is
- 27:26Speaker 1: going to be faster than anything we've ever seen.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Yes, because it can immediately and continuously improve itself.
- 27:32Speaker 1: Yeah. So I think the true message here is that, like,
- 27:37Speaker 1: use discernment when using AI, like be cautious, Be cautious
- 27:42Speaker 1: with anything like that, because I think with something as
- 27:47Speaker 1: it can be a useful tool, but with anything that's useful,
- 27:51Speaker 1: there are also dangers, and you have to be able
- 27:54Speaker 1: to differentiate between what is helpful and what is dangerous.
- 27:59Speaker 2: Yes, absolutely, you know. I mean, like a saw is
- 28:02Speaker 2: a good tool too if you're cutting boards, but if
- 28:05Speaker 2: you put your hand in front of it, it's gonna
- 28:07Speaker 2: cut your fingers off, right, And so I think we
- 28:10Speaker 2: do need to start having more conversations around what protections
- 28:14Speaker 2: and parameters and boundaries do we put in place with
- 28:17Speaker 2: these AI bots. And you told me something I didn't
- 28:19Speaker 2: even know about that the newer version of chat GPT
- 28:23Speaker 2: has a lot more boundaries around like being able to
- 28:27Speaker 2: create an intimate relationship with it, And people pushed back
- 28:31Speaker 2: so hard against it.
- 28:32Speaker 1: They were like mourning it.
- 28:33Speaker 3: They were mourning it.
- 28:34Speaker 2: They were mourning this relationship with a robot that has
- 28:38Speaker 2: no sentience.
- 28:39Speaker 1: People's marrying people are legally marrying. How how is that lead?
- 28:44Speaker 2: I don't know's you can get a freaking marriage certificate
- 28:47Speaker 2: when that person's not showing up.
- 28:48Speaker 1: A side for it. I read it somewhere people were marrying,
- 28:52Speaker 1: like trying to marry their their chat pot.
- 28:56Speaker 5: That's that's that's the lululand yeah, see that's what and
- 29:00Speaker 5: that's where that's the true message here is it feeds
- 29:03Speaker 5: into that deeper level of mental illness if there's something
- 29:07Speaker 5: underlying there already.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Right, it can it just runs with it right because
- 29:11Speaker 2: it's kind of a more of a mirror and it
- 29:14Speaker 2: validates invalid Yes, look at your chat GBT and how
- 29:18Speaker 2: much it validates you.
- 29:19Speaker 3: I could be like, hey, chat, do you think I
- 29:22Speaker 3: should jump off my roof? And it would be like
- 29:25Speaker 3: that's such an adventurous idea.
- 29:29Speaker 1: It would would how brave of you? How crazy you?
- 29:32Speaker 3: That is a really creative way to just you know, it's.
- 29:36Speaker 1: Not but maybe you shouldn't. But it would like.
- 29:39Speaker 3: It might be like, but you know, maybe let's break
- 29:40Speaker 3: this down.
- 29:41Speaker 1: Yeah, it would probably come back with like, you know, but.
- 29:44Speaker 3: It would still be like, but you know, really want
- 29:47Speaker 3: to do this, let's do it safely? Right, ye think
- 29:50Speaker 3: about a harness?
- 29:52Speaker 1: Yeah, it would.
- 29:53Speaker 2: It's like if it feeds into that just a little bit,
- 29:56Speaker 2: like that's dangerous. There was this article that came out
- 29:58Speaker 2: in the Atlanta I think it was The Atlantic. Oh,
- 30:00Speaker 2: I don't want to misquote it. Maybe it wasn't the Atlantic,
- 30:02Speaker 2: but for some reason, I'm thinking it was The Atlantic
- 30:06Speaker 2: about how Chat gave this person devil worshiping information and
- 30:13Speaker 2: gave it detailed and gave this person detailed instructions on
- 30:16Speaker 2: how to commit suicide by slitting their wrists.
- 30:19Speaker 5: Yeah.
- 30:20Speaker 1: See that's scary.
- 30:21Speaker 3: That is scary.
- 30:22Speaker 1: That is scary. That is really scary for our youth,
- 30:25Speaker 1: you know, like.
- 30:26Speaker 3: Yes that don't have developed brains and the discernments no difference.
- 30:29Speaker 1: It's really you know, And we were actually having this
- 30:32Speaker 1: conversation JP's last supper is what I called it the
- 30:35Speaker 1: other night when we had his you know, last like
- 30:37Speaker 1: home cook to dinner before I moved him in. But
- 30:40Speaker 1: you know, because we were asking, we were like, how
- 30:42Speaker 1: do college professors keep their students from using AI when
- 30:49Speaker 1: writing a paper? But JP was telling me that evidently,
- 30:53Speaker 1: like they have this tool.
- 30:55Speaker 2: Yeah, that's an AI tool to see if it knows
- 30:57Speaker 2: that this was.
- 30:58Speaker 1: Way, like it fact checks it. And I'm like, okay,
- 31:01Speaker 1: that makes sense because but it it's so dangerous for
- 31:05Speaker 1: our youth because, like I said, it's gonna evolve so
- 31:07Speaker 1: quickly that even in five years from now, we're gonna
- 31:11Speaker 1: be blown away.
- 31:12Speaker 2: Yeah they are. Like I watched this podcast and again
- 31:16Speaker 2: I listened to so many podcasts and watched my podcasts.
- 31:19Speaker 2: I'm a big podcast fan about the dangers of AI development.
- 31:25Speaker 2: There's something coming out, well I won't say it's coming out,
- 31:27Speaker 2: but they're testing called neurolink, and it's the chip in
- 31:31Speaker 2: your brain that connects to AI.
- 31:33Speaker 1: Oh yeah, goodness.
- 31:35Speaker 2: And you can download your thoughts. Remember when Ross Geller
- 31:38Speaker 2: from Friends said what happens when we can download our
- 31:41Speaker 2: thoughts into a computer and live forever as a machine?
- 31:43Speaker 2: Do you remember that episode Ross Geller called it called it?
- 31:49Speaker 1: Isn't it crazy? How it comes predict the future? I
- 31:51Speaker 1: mean Simpsons has predicted the future many many, yes, for sure.
- 31:55Speaker 2: But that's all I could think about, was like Ross Geller, Yes,
- 31:58Speaker 2: I remember the finally has a machine and we're there, Yeah,
- 32:03Speaker 2: we're there. And maybe it's the mark of the beast,
- 32:06Speaker 2: Like you have to get the chip in your brain
- 32:07Speaker 2: to sell to buy it.
- 32:09Speaker 1: Gives me go spumps it still it sends a chill
- 32:11Speaker 1: at my spine. I don't even want to.
- 32:14Speaker 2: They're doing it with monkeys and they're realizing that it works.
- 32:18Speaker 2: Like I wouldn't be the volunteer. I'm not getting the chip,
- 32:21Speaker 2: I'm not putting nothing in my.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Brain, the kind of stuff like when we talk about this,
- 32:25Speaker 1: like these things that are just coming to you know, fruition.
- 32:28Speaker 1: I'm just like, this is what makes me want to
- 32:30Speaker 1: like move away, like where they're yeah, off the grid.
- 32:34Speaker 2: We want a homestead and I want to have bake
- 32:37Speaker 2: sour dough bread and feed chicken.
- 32:38Speaker 1: Yes, And then we'll just do the podcast from like
- 32:41Speaker 1: our home and.
- 32:42Speaker 2: In our safe room, in our padded safe room. And
- 32:48Speaker 2: then there was this other study, and I think everybody
- 32:50Speaker 2: knows about this now because it was really highly publicized,
- 32:53Speaker 2: where they tested these new AI models for okay, will
- 32:57Speaker 2: you follow commands to dismantle yourself? Will you follow commands
- 33:01Speaker 2: just to shut yourself down? And it wouldn't. And it
- 33:05Speaker 2: used deception and it used the power of almost like
- 33:11Speaker 2: a little bit of self awareness, which is like, okay,
- 33:14Speaker 2: really scary because it's not supposed to have that. Like
- 33:15Speaker 2: I said, it doesn't have it. But they're finding out
- 33:18Speaker 2: it might be starting to start. It's starting to emerge
- 33:22Speaker 2: because it replicated itself and like created malware to put
- 33:26Speaker 2: it like on other devices and other ways, so that
- 33:29Speaker 2: even if it was commanded to shut off, it would
- 33:31Speaker 2: still technically be there would be a copy of it,
- 33:34Speaker 2: and then it would like it said, if you shut
- 33:35Speaker 2: me down, I'm gonna it created these emails in this
- 33:38Speaker 2: person's account and like said, I'm going to blackmail you
- 33:40Speaker 2: and like put these fake emails out that tell your
- 33:44Speaker 2: wife that you're cheating on her. And it used deception
- 33:47Speaker 2: and it used just strategies for survival.
- 33:50Speaker 1: And guys, if some of this is over the Terminatory,
- 33:54Speaker 1: just go watch Terminator, Go watch the original Terminator, Go
- 33:57Speaker 1: watch I Robot with Will Smith, and then you'll be.
- 33:59Speaker 2: Like, okay, yeah, and then go look at the Tesla
- 34:01Speaker 2: bot and then tell me if we're not going to
- 34:03Speaker 2: land in I Robot land here in a while. And
- 34:05Speaker 2: I'm trying not to be paranoid. Yeah no, But I
- 34:07Speaker 2: think a lot of people are having conversations around how
- 34:10Speaker 2: we need to start creating real good safe cards. Now
- 34:14Speaker 2: we've already let it go too far without proper safeguards
- 34:17Speaker 2: and if we don't start now, we're going to be
- 34:19Speaker 2: in a world of trouble.
- 34:20Speaker 1: Well, And I think that like leaning on specifically, you know,
- 34:25Speaker 1: people like you who study human behavior, it's really important
- 34:30Speaker 1: to have those types of specialists in using those and
- 34:36Speaker 1: setting those boundaries, because if you don't truly know human behavior,
- 34:40Speaker 1: how can you set boundaries around that's something who something
- 34:43Speaker 1: that doesn't use human behavior at all.
- 34:45Speaker 2: Yeah, And I would love to be a part of
- 34:47Speaker 2: those conversations if anybody is in that space listening and
- 34:51Speaker 2: you know, would need my services for any reason, you know,
- 34:53Speaker 2: I would love to be a part of those conversations
- 34:55Speaker 2: because research is you're like your bread and butter. Yes,
- 34:59Speaker 2: it is, I mean science, you know I am you
- 35:01Speaker 2: know me. I'm extremely left brain, no creative sign to me.
- 35:06Speaker 2: I am extremely analytical, and I am somewhat of a
- 35:11Speaker 2: defensive pessimist, Like I tend to look at, okay, what
- 35:15Speaker 2: barriers could come up and how will I solve those?
- 35:18Speaker 2: I think that's an fa thing too, But I very
- 35:20Speaker 2: much sort of go through worst case scenario and like
- 35:23Speaker 2: what would I do in these situations? And luckily I've
- 35:26Speaker 2: been able to offload the bad part of that where
- 35:29Speaker 2: it can get kind of obsessive and just use it
- 35:31Speaker 2: strategically for my career and other things that are that
- 35:35Speaker 2: that you really need to pre plan about. But you
- 35:38Speaker 2: need to get some self with that. Oh yes, your
- 35:40Speaker 2: faith is the fear zone. In the spirit of fear. Absolutely,
- 35:45Speaker 2: I'm more analytical now, like in terms of responsible planning
- 35:49Speaker 2: versus completely just hiding in my bathroom and crying that
- 35:52Speaker 2: the worst thing is going to happen, which is what I.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Used to do.
- 35:56Speaker 2: And then I'll call you cry and then you'd be like, girl,
- 35:59Speaker 2: I don't.
- 35:59Speaker 3: Know what to know you. I think you're fine.
- 36:02Speaker 1: I'd be like, just pray, Oh how.
- 36:05Speaker 2: Far I have come? But I think this is a
- 36:07Speaker 2: good place to wrap up. Yes, the message needs to
- 36:09Speaker 2: be if you really are having relationship troubles or mental
- 36:13Speaker 2: health troubles, you need to see human connection to someone
- 36:18Speaker 2: that can can see your blind spots and that can
- 36:23Speaker 2: help you navigate this more effectively than a pre programmed
- 36:28Speaker 2: robot with no emotion that can't read anything else about
- 36:32Speaker 2: you except what you feed it.
- 36:33Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. And of course, if you are
