Entrepreneur Christian Angermeryer, the founder of psychedelic biotechnology atai of life, spoke of the helping to help human psychedelic therapists thanks to motivation checks with patients between sessions. “Where AI can play a huge role, it is in voluntary complement therapy to support changes in lifestyle,” he said. “For the psychological support that we plan to be provided during the trip, I think you would always need at least a trained health professional capable of providing direct support if necessary.”
Although Trey did not trip under humans supervision, he still thinks he has harvested the advantages of the use of Alterd. Although it is premature to draw conclusions defined after only a few months, Trey attributes his interactions with the AI bot for having helped him to stay with alcohol. He considers the function of mental cat of the application as his own “subconscious”, built from all his entries and newspaper notes.
“This application and everything else gives me a deep self-awareness,” he says. “I have become able to observe my thoughts, feelings and impulses without judgment or spiral.”
“Our” Chat With Your Mind “feature is not only a generic Chatgpt interface”, explains the creator of Applications Sam Suchin, a recent graduate of Harvard University who is a close friend of the American Health Secretary Robert Kennedy Jr., Aidan. “It is a personalized AI tool that we have built that reflects your own thoughts, moods and patterns.” It uses data on current user states, past inputs, interactions and emotional tone to generate personalized information, he adds. “Although AI is designed to positively support users, it is not specifically consisting of not blindly strengthening each thought or behavior.
But there are obvious concerns that relying on machines that are unable to perceive subtleties, especially at the top of what could be a murderous psychedelic journey, could include serious dangers. Already, there are stories emerging from psychosis induced by the Chatppt on online forums like Reddit, even without the use of psychedelics.
“A critical concern about the Chatppt and most other AI agents is their lack of dynamic emotional realization and the ability to co-regulate the nervous system of the user,” explains Manesh Girn, postdoctoral neuroscientist in UC San Francisco. “These are both at the heart of therapeutic relationships, which indicates that research is essential to positive results with psychedelic therapy.”
Psychedelic experiences can be extremely difficult and painful, he adds: “And trust exclusively on a disembodied and potentially deaf agent, rather than a human presence, has a high potential of prejudice.” Especially the one who often reflects the hypotheses integrated into the promotion of a user, who “can lead someone on a harmful or deceived path”.
Chatgpt is not designed as a substitute for professional care, but is a tool for general use intended to be factual, neutral and concerned about security, according to Gaby Raila, spokesperson for Open AI, who owns the chatbot. Its models teach to remind users the importance of human connection and professional advice in the real world, and its users of use oblige users to comply with the law and not to hurt themselves or to others.
