    Some therapists use AI themselves! Might as well skip the middle man?

    Declan would never have found out his therapist was using ChatGPT had it not been for a technical mishap. The connection was patchy during one of their online sessions, so Declan suggested they turn off their video feeds. Instead, his therapist began inadvertently sharing his screen.

    “Suddenly, I was watching him use ChatGPT,” says Declan, 31, who lives in Los Angeles. “He was taking what I was saying and putting it into ChatGPT, and then summarizing or cherry-picking answers.”

      Or just not go to therapists that use Machine Learning, if possible.

      It’s well documented those glorified text predictors make people feel and act worse.
