Pluralistic: Anyone who trusts an AI therapist needs their head examined (01 Apr 2025)

I dont think any ai can ever reproduce the unspoken interpersonal, intrapersonal stuff that goes on, out of awareness, during the interactions between human beings.

I am thinking projections, projective identification, introjects and transference and counter transference as examples. You have to be human to know, feel, sense and experience these things.

No amount of coding trickery will duplicate the vast ocean of human experience
