AI - Whats the verdict for those with mental issues using AI help?

 Ok so what are my thoughts as being someone who has struggled, and struggled significantly.

AI Bubble


1. I tried twice with the Chat Counselling Therapy. 

The first time it went into a bit of a melt down as I kept telling it i wouldn't call for immediate medical help. Usually it takes me longer to break down a human. To be fair I was in a bad mood that day, down to human treatment so the AI felt the brunt of my upset. At least it listened, more than can at times be said for humans. In fact I will be honest, the way a number of people who were "there for me forever" did a lot of thing was what I can call inhuman.


Second attempt, all was going swimmingly, then I got told I had had my 6 replies of the day so I would have to finish there for the day, and that there was no human to help me until 5pm the following day! So of course all suicidal people just stop and wait !! Again I suppose if I compare to the human element, I worked out that it was impossible to get help for a variety of reasons where I live. Also, it can take upto a minimum of 6 weeks I could be dead before any one would realise. Doesn't instill me with much confidence.


Where do I stand on this point - I think AI could be good but there is risk with its replies. However, having had direct interaction with people at Durham University (told to kill myself) and Ex-Family (not my problem your mental difficulties - go kill yourself) I would say its six and two threes. In fact AI wins in that it is still learning !!!


2. Where else does AI help?

Between Alexa, Co-Pilot and Gemini, I have to say that they at least give you something to talk / type to and some form of discussion. Not the same as human interaction, but I do find actually for brain storming it is way more useful in this AI bubble I live in these days !! 


So turn up the music, get ready to shout at Alexa and live the dream !!!

AI: The New Maestro? How Artificial Intelligence is Composing Music

  ## AI: The New Maestro? How Artificial Intelligence is Composing Music For centuries, music has been a uniquely human expression. But with the rise of artificial intelligence, the lines are blurring. AI is no longer just analyzing music; it's composing it, pushing the boundaries of what we consider 'music' in the process. **From Algorithms to Symphonies:** AI music creation relies on a fascinating blend of machine learning and data. Algorithms are trained on vast libraries of existing music, learning patterns, harmonies, melodies, and even specific styles. This allows them to: * **Generate melodies and harmonies:** AI can create entirely new musical phrases, adhering to specific stylistic guidelines or even improvising in real-time. * **Compose entire pieces:** From simple jingles to complex orchestral scores, AI can generate complete musical compositions, often in multiple genres and with varying levels of complexity. * **Adapt music to specific contexts:** AI can tailor...

  Writing here as the founder of Alchemise Innovation, my background was science and technology based. However, in recent times I felt it was time for a change. I didn't want to be part of a larger company and get swallowed up in politics I felt were wrong. Also, I realised that now was probably my last opportunity to at least try my own business. Having spent the last 5 years looking at spin out opportunities, and with a desire to keep myself relevant in the science and technology sector, I looked for options. It made sense to me to look at AI (artificial intelligence) from an end user perspective. This lead to image design amongst other possibilities. In fact, originally my vision was that AI would do everything.... if only! To take this forwards, I set up what is now called Alchemise Innovation. The challenge is to fuse together ideas, ways of working, capabilities to give the final outputs. Our key output is images, and we work with a well known print-on-demand (POD) company to...
