I mean, the article addresses exactly your point like one line down? > In a separate interview last week, Zuckerberg said “the average American has three friends, but has demand for 15” and AI could plug that gap. And I think we should definitely look on this tech with scrutiny, but I think another angle to look at it is: which is worse? No therapy or AI therapy? You mention suicide, but which would result in a reduction in suicide attempts, a or b? I don't have an answer, but I could see it being possible that because AI therapy provides cheaper, more frequent access to mental care, even if it is lower quality, it could result in a net improvement over the status quo on something like suicide attempts.
