How are they getting screwed over here?

• FrustratedMonky 3y ago
  Typically when talking to a therapist you are exposing a lot of your secrets, fears, problems. But a tech company AI, isn't a licensed therapist. The 'AI' doesn't have to follow any privacy laws. So you are freely just giving all your darkest secrets to someone to do what they want.

    Example: if you use therapy services provided by an employer’s benefits package, they could subpoena your therapist for juicy mental health details that they can then use to slander you in court, HIPPA be damned. Example from my own employer doing this: https://archive.is/ https://archive.is/ AI therapists have no such patient confidentiality regulations, so it would be way easier to do that. Imagine if OpenAI wants to get rid of a problem employee who happens to use a OpenAI-powered therapist.
