There is nothing “dismissive” about offering advice to people who clearly need it. In actual fact, you are the one who was dismissive of the issue here by offering some cowardly “feel good” reply instead of opening up and sharing your honest thoughts. Stop tiptoeing around issues and enabling harmful behaviours. Relying on AI chatbots for mental health advice is very dangerous, and it’s absolute madness to encourage this as a primary form of treatment when you are seemingly aware of the dangers yourself.
I think you are confused. The dismissive behavior was not to just give advice and I pointed out what it actually was. And it is not dismissive to meet people where they are at. I think you’re now reaching for some fairly basic defensive behaviors (straw men and even the “I’m rubber your glue” kind of retorts) so I’m going to disengage.
Please do try to interact with others with more empathy.
I love the moral grandstanding from virtue signallers like yourself when you get called out on how utterly useless and selfish your behaviour is. I’m still the only one to offer genuine advice here; advice I know to be backed by academics and science. You have literally done nothing other than to encourage this person to continue a form of treatment you know to be dangerous, all to appear empathetic on social media.
I‘m sorry, but you are not the hero you would like to be. Please don’t lecture others without actually understanding the core issue in the first place.
You literally just encouraged them to continue using a chatbot for mental health support. You didn’t nudge them anywhere.
I was going to let them reply first. You are being rude and dismissive of them, however. Please show your fellow humans a bit more empathy.

Thanks for at least trying to make them understand the situation properly. :)

Not sure why you’re so offended here. The advice I gave you is literally what you claim to be doing.
In French there is a saying „C‘est le ton qui fait la musique“ - it‘s the tone which makes music. You can say things nicely with empathy, or not.
You can choose to be offended and cry, or not.
