I have empathy for that.
We actually have to pause here.
I've skipped past this Eliza thing.
Let's talk about the use of AI in therapy because we're seeing a lot of it recently.
A lot of people are turning to AI to use it as a therapist.
We know that therapy is expensive.
Weightless are excruciatingly long.
We also know that when loneliness, depression, anxiety, heartbreak, when they get overwhelming, like any form of comfort is going to be the one we lean on.
But just as we saw with the Eliza chatbot, supportive language is not the same as clinical care.
And a lot of the times it's just repetition.
It's repetition of what you've already said or told the bot.
And then it's just regurgitating that and giving you the most common response.
I have actually gotten a few advertising requests recently for AI therapy and wellness chatbots.
Full transparency, one of them was for thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars.
And it has and it will always be a hard no for me because I don't think this is the long-term solution to our mental health crisis.
In November 2025, the American Psychological Association put out a very clear warning against generative AI chatbots for therapy and said there's not enough sufficient evidence.
There's very little regulation.
And the danger is they create a false sense of therapeutic alliance that can have someone trusting anything it says, even when it's wrong.
Chatbots are not designed to help you.
They are designed to keep you engaged the same way social media isn't designed to help you.
