The Rise of AI Therapy: Is ChatGPT a Viable Alternative to Professional Help?

In a recent discussion, hosts of the Zach Sang Show explored a growing trend: individuals using ChatGPT for free therapy. One host revealed that several friends are utilizing the AI for mental health support, sparking a debate on its effectiveness. The primary concern raised was that ChatGPT, unlike a human therapist, might be prone to telling users what they want to hear rather than what they need to hear, potentially offering biased or unhelpful advice. Despite these reservations, the hosts acknowledged the significant cost advantage of AI therapy over traditional professional services. The conversation highlighted the evolving landscape of mental health support and the ethical considerations surrounding artificial intelligence in sensitive fields like therapy.
