I resonate with a lot of the text on that website. Do you know what their underlying AI model is? That is, what model have they based this on?

I do actually know… Claude

In that case, I a doubt they can deliver on their main critique: "AIs tell you ... what you want to hear, leading to a slow erosion of the self" -- it's in the DNA of the current technology. Even if you prompt, say, "please prioritize truthfulness over agreeability"... then you will see a _performative_ non-agreeability. The only cure for this I think is more real human contact and fostering community, not using technology.

I know what you mean, but it's not like that at all. I also agree on real human contact and fostering community over technology, but this isn't competing in the space the other LLMs are, it's more an aid in questioning yourself. It's quite interesting, give it a whirl...

You're right. I may have prematurely judged from the screenshots I saw they provided on the app store (and having tested similar apps in the past). Better to first use before judging. ;) I tried to use it, but the app freezes on the screen where you enter your phone number, it won't let me continue.

Never apologise for judging, it's my favourite pastime...

Oh I just saw you're technical issue...hmmm strange. If you are eager to investigate I have a contact there and can put you in touch.

I cherish judging. However, there is such a thing as premature judging. I've seen it in others, and then discovered I do it myself. ;)
