AI has become normalized by a large portion of the population. While many people use it to help them write emails, create schedules, or do other mundane tasks, it becomes dangerous when people use it to get advice on mental health or topics that are related to one’s emotional health.

What makes a therapist safer and more effective than AI:

• Possibly the most important reason that a therapist is safer than an AI, is that a therapist is a human! Therapists have their own human experiences, 6+ years of higher education, and must have a license to practice.

• Along with our education and human experiences, we have the ability to think deeper and provide more ethical and customized ways to help clients.

• Therapists have an ethical duty to keep all your records confidential and protected from outside sources who aim to track data such as AI models.

• As mentioned earlier, AI will provide you with the wrong information and do so confidently because it sees things in all-or-nothing. Humans and their challenges are far from all-or-nothing.
