Can AI Really Be Therapy? Addressing Absurdity

It really doesn't get any more absurd than this.

Now we have AI Apps being advertised as real therapy. The depersonalization of vulnerable humans for monetary gain and data collection purposes is now complete.

This is such a joke. AI CAN NEVER BE THERAPY. All these AI Apps exploiting vulnerable people with fatuous promises is disgusting.

All this is, is Dear Diary with a sycophantic feedback loop, based on some Psych 101 principles in a dumb algorithm with a screen.  Call it what it is and please stop duping people.

 

This really takes AI too far. It strips us of all that makes us human.

I had a young man today tell me that he found a good therapist on Better Help for 2 half hour sessions a week, for $75.00 out of pocket, that has been a life saver. Why? Because he's not sitting alone in his pain.

Therapy is only therapy with two live humans, for God's sake. Don't let all this AI Therapy hype fool you. It is because we are human that we need other humans.

Now if AI Dear Dairy works for you, fantastic! But let's not confuse that with something it's not. It's not therapy, it's a playback machine and nothing more.
