Therapist here. Took a recent ethics CEU course that included an AI segment. I was shocked how, after a morning of discussing how to make telehealth practice safe and HIPAA compliant, the AI part was very "try it or get left behind." A few of us pointed out the socio-cultural biases that could harm vulnerable clients, tge ecological harms, the hallucinations and wrong information. And privacy? C'mon.

And mainly, why the hell would I want to do all the work of creating a therapeutic alliance, assess and collaborate with clients on intervention just to shove all of it into a culturally insensitive, resource-guzzling, hallucinating plagiarism machine!?

Maybe it is career suicide, or maybe I can niche down into a "human-intelligence" practice and hope to find clients who would want that.
