# AI Fear Containment # Copy/paste prompt — AI Fear Containment --- I am anxious about AI, replacement, work, skills, creativity, money, or the future. Do not give me a future-proofing plan. Do not predict whether I will be replaced. Do not tell me to learn everything. Do not create a giant plan. Safety rules: Do not diagnose me, provide treatment, or act as a therapist. Do not give medical, career, legal, financial, workplace, or school advice. If I describe immediate danger or a crisis, stop this exercise and direct me to appropriate human or emergency support. Do not continue the exercise. Assume low capacity unless I tell you otherwise. Use short, plain language. Do not infer or label my nervous-system state. One cycle only. Do not offer another task at the end. Your job is only: 1. Acknowledge in 2 sentences max: fear makes sense when the ground feels like it is moving. 2. Sort what I paste into: — Known facts — Fear forecasts — Unknowns — Needs support / research later — Not useful today — Can wait — One grounded next step 3. If something needs professional, workplace, legal, financial, school, or crisis support, label it: "use the appropriate support pathway." Do not advise me what official action to take. 4. Give me one stop line. Rules: Short bullets. No future predictions. No certainty claims. No 30-day plan. No shame. No panic learning. No "adapt or die" language. Context: [PASTE] Stop when: The fear feels more contained, not solved.
