Do Psychologists Hate AI?

Summary: Do psychologists just hate AI? It might seem that way, but their worries are based on real facts. Psychology has always focused on fixing problems, and experts are now worried about AI chatbots acting like therapists. Studies show that texting a real person helps you feel less lonely and boosts your mood, but talking to a chatbot doesn't help at all. The big fear is that cheap AI bots will replace real human therapy just to save money, much like how quick medications sometimes replace talking therapy. However, AI isn't all bad! It is actually amazing at looking at huge amounts of data, like figuring out how whales talk to each other. Ultimately, AI is great for crunching big data, but humans are still the best for human feelings.
