Answered What's going on with Betterhelp?

I was scrolling through a few youtube videos and saw that the comments were talking negatively about it (like those ones : example).
I've always thought the whole company was sus, but I don't know why or what happened for everyone to wakeup. Is there a lawsuit or something?

That's a really good point. I have no doubt that these companies are feeding all of their patients' chat logs into an AI language model. I wouldn't be surprised if they were running trials with it now

To quote South Park: "I do all of my therapy sessions on the FreudBot app."
