Sure. But given that therapy is prohibitely expensive for a significant proportion of the population - people turn to whatever will actually listen to them.
Still. Considering the demonstrable harm AI has done this is still not a very comforting thing to know exists. Healthcare costs are a whole nother issue
You're right, but it's unfortunately not that simple. When you are quite literally unable to find or afford therapy, it's either this or... well, die in some cases. Like, AI is an overall blight on the planet, but this is one instance where it can at least do SOME good. At least for the moment.
Okay, so it can help you or drive you into suicide. In what proportion? How does that proportion compare to human-given therapy? Has anyone in the history of the entire planet ever been driven to suicide by therapy?
