Gods almighty I hate AI bros.
I just had some fucker on Reddit attempt to splain to me, with a straight face, that AI is going to replace all therapists in a few years, because people don't need human connection as long as they feel like the computer is empathetic.
???? ????? ?????????
Setting aside that that's bullshit, fucking AI cannot do fucking culturally competent therapy, at all, on any fucking level, because it's fucking fancy autocorrect and is going to spit out what the mainstream culture tells it.
Fucking AI could not help my friend who fucking cannot with CBT at all because it triggers them, because it's going to spit out the most common answers to therpy question and that means fucking CBT.
Fucking AI cannot fucking handle things like DID headmate switching, or someone getting triggered and needing de-escalating mid session, or ANYTHING that's outside a very narrow window of "help, I need someone to make vaguely soothing noises at me".
If I wanted an AI therapist, I'd get out a Windows 98 emulator and vent to fucking Clippy. It'd be cheaper and better for the environment.
