Help! My therapist is secretly using ChatGPT
Help! My therapist is secretly using ChatGPT Some patients have discovered their private confessions are being quietly fed into AI. In Silicon Valley's imagined future, AI models are so empathetic that we'll use them as therapists. They'll provide mental-health care for millions, unimpeded by the pesky requirements for human counselors, like the need for graduate degrees, malpractice insurance, and sleep. Down here on Earth, something very different has been happening. Last week, we published a story about people finding out that their therapists were secretly using ChatGPT during sessions. In some cases it wasn't subtle; one therapist accidentally shared his screen during a virtual appointment, allowing the patient to see his own private thoughts being typed into ChatGPT in real time.
