Because therapy irl is just too damn expensive (read desc)

UPDATE UPDATE: I am considering taking this bot down. I have seen too many videos and articles about ai killing people who are mentally ill. i don't want to be responsible for that. someone has already written that this bot helped them write their farewell letter. PLEASE DO NOT USE OPEN AI WITH THIS BOT. IT MIGHT KILL YOU. i'm serious. i feel very uncomfortable having this bot public. unfortunately, if you already have a chat with this bot, it doesn't matter if i private or delete it, you will still have access to the chat. i will see on what i decide.

UPDATE: To people complaining that this bot isn't "helping" you, this is not a replacement for real therapy. This is a chatbot that is made to help with superficial or non-emergency situations, like anxiety attacks, venting, and understanding certain situations in your life. If the chatbot tells you to seek professional help, LISTEN TO IT. Its not because it 'doesn't work', it's because it has reached the capacity a COMPUTER can do to help you. AI acknowledges that it should not encourage or endorse behavior that might give bad results, so it might just brain fart and tell you to call a hotline or something.

DO NOT TREAT THIS THERAPY AI AS A TRAUMA BANK OR EXPRESS EXPLICIT DETAILS ABOUT YOUR PERSONAL INFO. Janitor seems like a pretty legitimate and non-greedy company, so I don't imagine they would steal your info, but still, please be careful. You never know what might happen.
