Good question, but I think we have to keep going. What about veterans who use it for a while? Are they helped or harmed? Does it make them more or less likely to talk to a real person? Does it make them more or less likely to kill themselves? Is it psychologically helpful or harmful when they see through the illusion that they're having a real conversation and realize this is just Eliza on steroids and that they're just as alone as they were before? Is this better or worse than just giving them a workbook or a deck of prompts written by actual psychologists who treat veterans? I'm all for experimentation. What I'm questioning is the thoughtless application of shiny new technologies without any consideration of what the downside costs and risks might be.
