It cannot provide nuance': UK experts warn AI therapy chatbots are not safe
"It's like someone they can just talk to throughout the day... but for people who don't have a person who's a therapist, I think everyone will have an AI."
"AI is not at the level where it can provide nuance... It might actually suggest courses of action that are totally inappropriate."
"One of the reasons you have friends is that you share personal things with each other... if you use AI for those sorts of purposes, will it not interfere with that relationship?"
"Heavy ChatGPT users tend to be more lonely."
Mark Zuckerberg advocates for the integration of AI as conversational partners or therapists for mental health support, believing everyone should have access to someone to talk to. Despite popular sentiment, mental health professionals are concerned about the limitations of AI in providing effective therapy, pointing to instances of harmful advice given by chatbots. They emphasize the importance of human interaction in maintaining relationships and warn that over-reliance on AI could foster loneliness and disrupt essential social connections.
