Some therapists are using AI during therapy sessions. They’re risking their clients’ trust and privacy in the process.

    They’re not “triggered” they’re pissed their doctor is offloading work to a chatbot and violating HIPAA because the chatbot retains everything you type into it for future training.

    If shrinks are using chat it’s to do their work and not disclosing to patients and getting their consent…

    That’s a huge liability in multiple legal aspects

    If my therapist is using any sort of AI, I’m finding a new therapist and reporting them.

      My therapist is actually extremely against LLMs being used in a clinical sense, and also opts out of them when her own healthcare providers use them. She’s a good one, and I respect her a lot for that stance

    I’d drop a therapist so fast if they were doing this.

    Their main job is to listen. I’ve never had one who even took notes during our sessions.

    i was planning a hate-read cuz yaknow if the author uses “triggered” in the headline the article will be laughably bad… but then before i began, like 3 different things popped up on the site, blocking my hate read. yo guys no one is that eager to read your slop, maybe leave your popups to 1?

    guess I’ll just blacklist that whole garbage-assed website.

    so long technologyreview@ibbit.at! i barely knew ya (and thats for the best)
