Dumb idea period.
A.I. is giving me mental health issues. Every other news article is about it. I'm so sick of A I. 99% of the people reporting it don't even have a clue to what it is!! Grrrrrrrr!!!!
AI tells you that your feelings are justified, so just do it!
Many therapists are unreliable and bad at their jobs. They are not available when people may need them most. LLMs are being trained for therapy. They will take over. Be less expensive. Be better at the job. And not cost $200/50 min. session.
A.I. could kill you, don't use it for this.
