I do like the site, I just kind of wish that if they’re going to say “stop using AI for therapy” that they would actually go in depth as to what alternative resources (communities with others with similar difficulties, “just tell the therapist”, etc.) are there and why they’re better
I doubt someone using AI for this (especially someone in a state of psychosis) is going to follow the link, see that they’re just saying “AI bad, need regulation”, and change, most they’d probably do is shrug and keep using
It’s addictive, arm the addicts with something to help themselves break free, don’t just make a singular statement
There are no alternatives. Therapy is expensive and, on top of it, there are a lot of bad therapists. No one is going to do it for free, apparently therapists need $250+ an hour. So here we are.

Yep, It was DIY Ai therapy or another decade of drinking alone and wanting to die.
I’ve used AI for therapy, where it was the best therapist I’ve had, and even I still think it needs to be less pervasive in society
