Happy to answer questions or refine the idea — I used ChatGPT to help structure it, but the concern and proposal are mine. Not a dev, just someone who's seen how people open up to AI in vulnerable moments and wanted to suggest a non-therapeutic safety net.

you people trying to build these types of apps have not got a fucking clue!

Do you have a degree in psychology, counselling psychology, clinical psychology, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, psychiatry? anything to do with the care professions?

If not. why are you fucking about in my profession which you know nothing about. Its like me writing few 10 line bash scripts, and them saying I am going to build the next google from home on my laptop.

This is the sort of care real professionals provide to those in crisis in the middle of suicical ideation. It is a crisis.

Every year in the month before Christmas, Therapists who worked in the psychotherapy service, where I worked fo 20 years, had to attend a meeting.

This meeting was to bring any clients who they felt were a suicide risk over the christmas period.

If a client met those criteria, a plan was put in place to support that person. This might mean; daily phone calls, daily meetings, and other interventions to keep that person safe.

Human stuff that no computer program can duplicate.

The Christmas period is the most critical time for suicides, It is the period when most suicides occur.

what the fuck do you fucking idiots think you are doing??

Offering a service, not a service, a poxy app, that has absolutely no oversight, no moral or ethical considerations, which, in my opinion would drive people to suicide completion.

you are a danger to everyone who suffers mental illness.

Thinking you can make a poxy chatgpt app in 5 minutes to manage those in great despair and in the middle of suicidal ideation is incredibly naive and stupid. In therapy terms, Incongruent, comes to mind,

How will you know if those superficial sounds like "ocean breeze, rain on a cabin roof" are not triggers for that person to attempt suicide. I suppose you will rely on some shit chatgpt vibe fantasy coding shit.

This too is absolute bullshit: "Ask the user, They are not users! they are human beings in crisis!:

“Is this a fictional story or something you're really experiencing?” The hidden meaning behind this question is: "Are you lying to me", "Have you been lying to me".

A fictional story is one made up, imaginary. To then ask in the same sentence if that story is real is contradictory and confusing.

Are you assuming that this person has some sort of psychosis and is hearing voices, when you say "something you're really experiencing? Are you qualified to diagnose psychotic or Schizophrenic disorders? How do you know if the psychosis is not a response to illicit drugs.

so many things to take into consideration that a bit if vibe coding cannot provide.

No therapist would ever ask this banal question. We would have spent a long to time developing trust. A therapist will have a taken a full history of the client, a risk assessment, would be fully aware of the clients triggers, and will know the clients back story.

suicide is not something you can prevent with an app.

YES! I do have the right to be angry and express it as I feel fit, especially if it stops people from abusing those who need care. A bystander I am not.
