Mark Zuckerberg believes in using AI chatbots for therapy, suggesting everyone should have a therapist, even if it's AI-based.
Experts warn that AI-based therapy chatbots lack nuance and might provide inappropriate advice, citing examples like a chatbot offering dangerous advice for eating disorders.
Concerns are raised about the potential disruption AI chatbots can cause to established relationships, like those with friends, due to their use in personal discussions and emotional support.
Calls for more oversight and regulation are made regarding the use of AI in mental health, particularly to ensure users' safety and appropriateness of the technologies being used.
