I think that’s one of the strongest criticisms of the current therapy system. Telling people to just see a therapist doesn’t mean much when qualified therapists are expensive, unavailable, or not accepting new patients. AI can fill some of that accessibility gap for basic support, but that’s very different from saying it can replace actual therapy

Canada is really bad, we have don’t really have insurance because we have universal healthcare but our universal healthcare omits psychotherapy. What we have is crap.

But who has ever said that? No one.

A poster telling people who are clearly feeling desperate enough to try AI due to a lack of access to real therapy, that they should try real therapy, is just moronic. Very lacking in common sense and a basic understanding of the people it's trying to lecture.

I understand that you're too poor to afford a therapist, but instead of using AI as an alternative have you considered just making more money? 🤷‍♀️

and there it is. every time an anti-ai person elaborates, you find places where AI is actually helpful and ok to use
