Dallas Bragg and a co-speaker discuss when AI can help in crisis situations and when it can't. AI works as a first pass for less severe cases, but people in psychosis or acute distress need human support. They also warn that impaired users sharing personal data with AI platforms face serious privacy risks.
AI isn't a substitute for human support in crisis, acute distress, or risk situations. It works best as a first-pass processing tool. I think that's important to say.
Yeah. Look, I mean, there's probably a few important things to say on the safety around using AI in my own experience, but unquestionably, you know, a lot of people in chemsex recovery have experienced psychosis. And I think if you are dealing with psychosis, it's probably, it's not a good idea necessarily to, you need human assistance. in situations like that. Yeah. Yeah. And obviously, you know, serious situations, you absolutely, you know, AI is not going to be suitable. But there are, for the vast majority of situations, it is going to be suitable. And then I suppose the point to add to that is most people I expect listening might be worrying about data protection. Look, I mean, first of all, I had to be honest about the fact that if I was off my head on crystal meth at 3 o'clock in the morning and I'm on some other, you know, platform, the last thing I'm thinking about is data protection. Data protection. So if I'm already sharing a lot of information on there, just how bad is it going to be on the AI?
