There's plenty of bad human therapists. It's hard to vet quality of care when you're in crisis and bad therapists can cause great harm.
Im pretty bullish on AI therapy agents, at least for mechanistic-ish stuff like CBT where emotional attachment to the therapist isn't super important.
TFA is complaining about cloud software, not AI therapists. Totally agree with that complaint. But LLMs can run locally, and cloud software can be wrapped in enough regulations to stay private.
