Readit NewsIt won't stop you getting ads, of course, and I have yet to find the holy grail of fictional facebook settings "Never show me reels or suggest groups you think I might be interested in, stick to my actual friends".
You'll not be able to prove validity of the concepts behind this school of therapy themselves in any other sense, even if you would be able to identify some coherent set of concepts from all the various techniques and approaches that CBT subsumed over the years.
And certainly just because "if you follow these practices, you will maybe get better" metric does not say anything about validity of the concepts of a particular school of therapy in any case, no matter what school you're talking about.
I mean yeah, many people usually care about whether some therapy works and how well, and not whether the concepts that you're told in therapy to justify what the therapy is doing make coherent sense or can be scientifically validated, so this is usually not a problem for people in need of care. But idea that CBT's concepts are more objective than other mumbo jumbo therapies out there is just plain wrong.
Now I use ChatGPT as an “assistant” to do a lot of tasks that I would have normally done with laborious searching through google.
It truly saves a lot of time.
Google is right to be quite worried.
Sure I still use google but really, maybe only 40% of as much time as I did before.
Why research: “give me 30 of the most common health conditions related to the human liver” and spend a lot of time in google, when the Ai can spit out that in seconds?
And worse I can ask the Ai to write a short couple of paragraphs about each one.
Then I can confirm the output and clean up the generated text into my own style.
What do I do?
I do online marketing and programming to support online marketing activities.
I write. I plan. I code. I hire.
We just taught a junior employee who is not great as a writer to use ChatGPT to help her with a good start to writing.
The training for her was how to formulate detailed and highly specific “prompts” and to use google as a backup to confirm facts in the AI generated output.
It’s not there to replace people’s work. It’s there to make them much, much more efficient.
Don’t use ChatGPT for medical research.

For example if you're thinking "I should go to the store and buy Christmas presents", it isn't really necessary to verbalize this with your inner voice, if you're not about to say that to anyone.
Personally I find this hard to do for more than a few moments; the habit of verbalizing is too automatic. Maybe those of us who say they have no inner voice are really good at this.
I guess the AI version would be to operate in a latent state instead of always doing the forward pass all the way to words.

My intuition would be that this is due to frequency, since a normal person would smoke weed far less often than they would smoke nicotine, and this is a really important distinction. If frequency is important to this question, then Marijuana smoke is not actually safer, but is just enjoyed more rarely. Maybe the lungs have a chance to clear themselves out and reduce inflammation between marijuana sessions? Just asking about the lifetime impact on users makes no sense since these drugs have totally different usage profiles.
The tobacco industry was well-aware of the risk from radioactivity since the 1950s. https://www.uclahealth.org/news/release/big-tobacco-knew-rad...
