Time to ban therapists and replace them with AI

[Shermaningeorgia]

- less bias

- more ethical treatment

- program them to follow a treatment algorithm

Humans can learn but can often be slow to unlearn. 

AI can be easily programmed. You cannot erase the thoughts or cognitive process of a human, not without causing traumas.

Therapist are mostly useless yes but AI will never be able to help in anyway only human mind will be intelligent and creative enought to help and understand human mind the problem is the standards we use to train and call someone a therapist.

All the points you make here are either false or negative points that will never make them able to truly help 

AI is bias, have no ethic and can't unlearn so quickly 

Plus algorithm will never understand human mind, at least for now

Talking to someone about you problems is complaining, thats bad practice, and what therapy boils down to.

I would not go to a piano and vent my fustrations at it expecting to improve. 

Improvement comes from reinforcing good mental habits vai practice and repetitition.

Example: Loving kindness meditation. This is you sitting there and visualizing acts of love. This is deliberate practice to what you want to optimize your brain to do and make it your DEFAULT mode.

Eample: Love of truth meditation. This is you sitting there and reflecting on what is true while enjoying the hunt for truth, enjoying the insight. To reinforce the love of truth.

Holy shit so much ignorance around therapy in this thread.

Talking to someone about issues is NOT complaining.

MY GOD.

The AI will just validate all your bullshit.

Not my experience.

It will validate your feelings, but will keep reminding you of whatever reality you feed it. It never demonizes you.

It's perfect for therapy to the extent of your honesty and awareness, but honesty and awareness are often a big part of the main issue.

A human who knows you well is much much better, like a close friend or relative who's also wise. But that's rare.

A.I. are not programed, they are trained. On the vast amounts of data. But yes of course, that is a possibility in the future. Very narrow and odd hyperfocus on this particuliar profession which is weird, but yeah. We've gotten used to it by now lol

If it’s objective then fine. Another Hitler mind who hates  betterment. Double speak.

The ethics are there. Therapy should be banned. Simple.

What a person needs is to be in contact with someone more conscious than they are and can provide them with a space to grow.

And regardless of that if they're not pursuing self development they are not going to grow, a person has to become their own internal therapist.

Most therapists are functioning under a corrupt pharmaceutical paradigm and if they're not doing that then they're not conscious enough to guide you through most problems.

I've seen many interviews with therapists joking about how there is no helping their patients.

And of course you're not going to help them at the level that you're at.

Be cool if AI had better outcomes than therapy. 

I mean tbf with the amount of wacky unproven therapies out there, AI therapy really isn't that bad. Aside from the psychosis risks.

What we need is more science on what actually works in therapy. Especially regarding trauma.

You'll have to actually argue a case for this. Otherwise, no. Not simple.
