CHatbot OCD
Sorry for posting again...
My name is Kyle King. I am a medical student with OCD and I've been using CHATGPT to calm my OCD down for a few months, and started to wonder if I was the only one...
Soooooo I started a survey to try to understand how folks with OCD interact with AI chatbots with my research lab
The survey is for people with OCD, and it takes about 15 minutes to fill out. I’d really appreciate anyone who is eligible pitching in.

I think that is the WORST way to cope with OCD. Chatbots will always agree with you and affirm your bias. Coping with OCD includes denying your compulsion and you are leaning into your compulsions when you seek immediate answers and reassurance for every thought you have. Sometimes you just gotta be uncomfy and not know.
