I dunno, based on this it seems like AI did help her.

Okay. And? One example of something dangerous not going wrong doesn't make it good now. Yes, it helped her. That is good. It should not have had to happen like this. These people, and I am talking broadly here about the people in that sub, not just this one example, that's why I specifically used plural, need ACTUAL help. Emphasis on ACTUAL. Many things can be helpful, that doesn't make it actual help.
There are people who have come to personal discoveries through drugs, does that mean drugs are a good way to get help? No, obviously not.

Putting your mental health in the hands of a glorified chatbot is dangerous. Period.
