It’s cheap, quick and available 24/7, but is a chatbot therapist really the right tool to tackle complex emotional needs?

    I will say that in my own experience, Ai LLMs have been amazing with reflection and encouragement.

    Does this mean good therapy? Not necessarily. I just wanted to share a positive experience.

      My opinion was more a reflection that seeing a mental healthcare professional once a week isn’t really enough when people don’t have traditional support mechanisms.

      What I’m trying to say is that before therapists, friends and family were therapists. They were available to give support and advice nearly 24/7

      In today’s life people are too busy to do that.

      It was never queer people destroying the family. It’s always been capitalism
