Only 5% of people with substance use disorder seek formal treatment.
Researchers are now turning to Reddit, TikTok and YouTube to understand how the other 95% navigate addiction and recovery in online communities. https://theconversation.com/reddit-and-tiktok-with-the-help-of-ai-are-reshaping-how-researchers-understand-substance-use-241730
@TheConversationUS Whatever you fucking do, do not rely on AI to help you recover from drugs or alcohol--are you fucking crazy? GET THE HELL OFFLINE and get in a ROOM with other HUMAN BEINGS.
It's like deciding you're going to kick an addiction by going to a casino. I don't know why people want to avoid in person encounters so badly, but that want to avoid confronting other people you hurt IS your addiction. Fellowship, assholes. Get in a room with PEOPLE.
Jesus fucking Christ.
@smutmag @TheConversationUS the article is about using "AI" to ease the content analysis for researchers
@mapto @TheConversationUS Well, at least now we know not to trust the research.
