As a person who also has experience with mental health services, I fully agree.
People seem to have this misguided notion that when they tell someone to "seek professional help" that the "professional" they seek will actually know what they're doing. Generally, they don't. Beyond that, even the best therapists make enormous mistakes. And most people don't get the best.
I honestly think that an AI could do better than most therapists, and I'm sure it would be better than most psychiatrists.

- pstuart 3y agoThe professionals are doing educated guessing when it comes to treatment, both medicinally and psychiatrically. AI should be part of the toolkit of that guessing.
