Since I wrote about Guidance for Using AI for therapy or companionship, articles on the subject have been in the news, newspapers, and other resources. Using chatbots for therapy and friendship is fraught with challenges and downsides. These bots were not designed for these purposes. We see 'horror' stories in which bots give suicidal people advice to keep secrecy and even how one may su***de. They may encourage inappropriate thinking by validating what should not be validated. Here is some preliminary guidance.
On the other hand, there are AI applications specifically designed by psychotherapists for CBT and therapeutic interactions. Learn more about it.

DE-SKILING

Are you worried about AI replacing your skills? What happens when we turn our mental work and writing over to AI? Perhaps it would be wise to worry about it.

This article is on DE-SKILLING -- the loss of skills because we outsourced tasks to technology and then those skills and capacities become weaker. De-skilling is a reason I write all documentation myself and even try to limit use of a calculator for basic math -- to maintain integrative and observational skills -- to stretch the brain. Learn about DE-SKILLING and COGNITIVE DEBT.
