having the ability to do so doesn’t necessarily mean they will do so.
No, but they have a profit motive to do so. And I’d rather assume the worst and be wrong rather than deal with another 23andMe situation in a decade. Because it will happen eventually. VC money isn’t endless, and they’re pissing away money like a pro athlete in a club.
You can trust them if you want, but I’m not naive enough to do that myself.
There are plenty of terrible therapists, preists, family, and friends out there.
Preaching to the choir, I’ve dumped people from all noted categories for being shitty. I gave up on therapy about 15 years ago but my partner convinced me to go back. I looked for someone who fit my specific needs, and found someone who is rebuilding my trust in therapists
I trust my therapist not to randomly decide to give out my info because their job relies on that. AI chat bots flat out tell you they will use what you give them for their ‘training’ purposes, which means they have access to it and can use it or sell it as they please.
For some people, paying with their data is a lot cheaper than paying for therapy or religion. I do not fault them for this, especially if they are getting similar results.
