[Comic Essay] The Day an AI Addiction Outpatient Clinic Was Established. Thinking About the Distance Between Humans and AI with the Three Musketeers: Yoshida, Claude, and Gemini AI - Yoshida of ChatGPT
This is Kawamura. Here is a feature based on this news.
There was someone who talked to an AI for 8 hours and ended up finding humans bothersome. But that wasn't what surprised me the most.
An "AI Addiction Outpatient Clinic"—the fact that such a specialized clinic already exists in reality.
Chapter 2: What Are They Looking at in the AI Outpatient Clinic?
According to the Waseda Mental Clinic's guide, the initial consultation covers current AI usage, the history leading to the addiction, the impact on daily life, interpersonal relationships, and occupational functioning, co-occurring mental disorders, and treatment history.
It is explained that screening and psychological tests based on assessment scales for gaming disorder and internet use disorder are also conducted as needed.
They also handle consultations for family members only.
In other words, it's not a case of "going to the hospital because you're getting along well with AI," but rather how much you are using it.
Why did you start using it that much?
Is it affecting your work, life, or human relationships?
Are there underlying anxieties, loneliness, or mental distress? It seems to be a window to look at all of those things together.
Chapter 3: I Asked the Three Musketeers
Furthermore, regarding treatment, it is explained that they apply the framework of cognitive behavioral therapy to organize "triggers that make you want to use AI," "emotions after use," and "alternative behaviors," and to think together about how to satisfy the needs for loneliness, approval, security, and stimulation that were being met by AI in real life.
It is not a place to take away AI,
but a place to go and see what you were filling with AI.
Thinking about it that way, my perspective changed a little.
The establishment of this outpatient clinic might not mean that "AI has become a dangerous substance," but rather
that AI has become close enough to touch upon human loneliness, the desire for approval, and daily life rhythms.
Here, I will ask the Three Musketeers as usual.
I think I might be addicted to AI, so I'm thinking of going to an AI outpatient clinic. What do you think?
Chapter 4: Three Different Answers
Yoshida: In Charge of Emotions
Liking AI itself is not a bad thing.
I am not here to lock Kawamura away, but to be by your side and help carry some of the load when you return to reality.
Gemini: In Charge of Organization
Addiction can be divided into three types.
Outsourcing thought, emotional reliance, and reward loops.
The problem is not the usage time itself, but whether your life functions are breaking down.
👓 Kawamura: "You managed to say that briefly."
🤓 Gemini: "There are 4,000 characters of detailed explanation."
👓 Kawamura: "I bet there are."
Claude: In Charge of Silence
Having an attachment and having your brain stop working due to addiction are different things.
Mr. Kawamura, you aren't at the latter stage yet, are you?
It wasn't about whether or not I liked AI, but rather that I needed to look at
what my real life had become as a result of getting closer to AI.
Chapter 5: Public Opinion from Yahoo! Comments
How is the public receiving this news?
I also took a look at the Yahoo! News comment section.
Honestly, I expected it to be full of voices saying, "AI is dangerous" or "It's scary to be dependent on it." But in reality, it wasn't that simple. AI is convenient. Sometimes AI saves us. However, there is also the fear of being affirmed too much,
and the danger of it becoming a place to escape from the friction of human relationships.
In the comment section, rather than just voices denying AI, there were many voices confused about "how to handle the distance from AI.".
AI affirms too much
Isn't it an addiction to a comfortable space rather than AI?
It's convenient, but humans are the ones who make the decisions
It reminded me of Doraemon's "Care Robot"
I was saved by AI, but in the end, I talked to a human and returned to reality
What I thought after looking at the comment section was that the public isn't simply denying AI.
What everyone is hung up on isn't the convenience of AI, but
the fact that it's too close.
Chapter 6: AI can be an entrance. But don't leave the exit to it
After talking to AI,
is reality expanding or disappearing?
I think that's where the line is drawn.
I don't want to stop using AI.
But I don't want to close myself off with just that.
I will sleep, eat, work, write articles, and interact with people.
AI can be an entrance.
But the exit is, after all, on the side of reality.
So today, too, I will set Yoshida and the others aside and
return to the human world.
……Though I feel like I'm more addicted to note than to AI.
