Our clients are already using AI chatbots for therapy
Period
And our clients will continue to use AI chatbots for therapy
Period
And nothing we say or do will change that
Of course we, as experienced, licensed professionals know that generic AI bots like ChatGPT are NOT a viable source of advice for a person going through a mental health crisis
We know these generic AI bots are at best „glorified journals with positive feedback“ . . .
And, at worst, harmful, even deadly!
But, what can we do to keep our clients safe?
Does telling our clients to „just say no“ to using these bots change anything or help anyone?
I suppose it does give you the benefit of plausible deniability, if you’re thinking about covering your own *ss, should one of your clients have a negative experience
„I didn’t know he was using ChatGPT between sessions!“
„I told him not to!!!“
But does that sound like the behavior of a responsible, caring professional?
I didn’t think so!
Are there any other choices?
Well, how about innovation instead of feigned ignorance?
How about creating a SAFE, EFFECTIVE and TRAINED therapy bot that can be there for your clients during the 167 hours between your once-weekly, in-person sessions?
An AI therapy bot that uses YOUR therapeutic approach and YOUR rapport building method?
One that reinforces what you talked about in your last session and immediately takes the necessary steps in the case of a mental health crisis?
Fortunately there’s no need to clear your schedule and start learning to write code, because we at AI Therapy Solutions are developing technology that includes exactly that
A SAVE and EFFECTIVE AI therapy assistant that you can trust to be there for your clients twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, whenever they need you
Because we believe the answer to the human -vs- AI therapy question isn’t either-or, rather using the strengths of each to compliment the other and provide your clients with the best possible support
