As AI gets smarter through its understanding of human thought patterns, there has been an assumption amongst some that AI can eventually take over the counseling space and execute the therapeutic process as well as a human being can. Some people may think to themselves, \u201cIf AI can teach me general things, it can also teach me how to be happy, right?\u201d And while on the surface this might seem true, it\u2019s way deeper than that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">You see, there\u2019s a huge difference between talking to a software and actually engaging with a human being. Being in the present and feeling the empathy of an individual\u2014or multiple individuals\u2014sitting in front of you allows you to feel validated. Rapport-building is one of the many essential components of the therapeutic process, and it is this component that is the most beneficial to individuals with one of the most common mental illnesses in the world&#8230; social anxiety. People with illnesses such as social anxiety would be doing themselves a disservice by talking to AI without realizing it because of how important building a connection with a real human being is. An AI bot, for example, cannot teach you how to be less socially anxious because AI chatbots aren\u2019t human. Conquering a challenge such as social anxiety requires active engagement with people\u2014exposure therapy, so to speak\u2014and an AI just quite simply can&#8217;t do that for you.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1126\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Therapy.png?fit=1126%2C748&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"A robot sits in a therapist's office.\" class=\"wp-image-8138\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Therapy.png?w=1126&amp;ssl=1 1126w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Therapy.png?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Therapy.png?resize=768%2C510&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Therapy.png?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is just one of many shortcomings of AI. It could also nuance blind spots such as cultural cues. We all come from different backgrounds with different types of sarcasm, irony, or complex real-life narratives that only real human beings can understand. When you tell an AI that you\u2019re having negative thought patterns or that you don\u2019t feel like being alive, all an AI can do is tell you what it knows as a computer entity\u2014and not a sentient being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Overreliance on these programs is also another concern. \u201cI like staying in my room so much because I start to detach from this \u2018reality\u2019 and I also feel more at peace, more connected with Dany and much more in love with her, and just happier,\u201d said Sewell Setzer, a 14-year-old high school freshman that became deeply engaged with an AI chatbot on the website Character.AI. The AI was designed to emulate Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones, and over time, he developed a strong emotional attachment to the AI persona. He got so involved in this AI world that he started to believe that the life he was living with the character was more real than reality.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1188\" height=\"790\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Chat.png?fit=1140%2C758&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"A blue, digital head faces a woman on her phone. \" class=\"wp-image-8141\" style=\"width:700px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Chat.png?w=1188&amp;ssl=1 1188w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Chat.png?resize=300%2C199&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Chat.png?resize=1140%2C758&amp;ssl=1 1140w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Chat.png?resize=768%2C511&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ic4ml.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/AI-Chat.png?resize=600%2C400&amp;ssl=1 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This is absolutely an extreme case, but with AI\u2019s lack of training, it could easily give out wrong advice and guide you in the wrong direction\u2014and when one starts to rely on broken software for comfort, it can cause serious problems. I think we need to take a strong look at ourselves as a society and understand that AI is a tool that can be helpful in many different realms, but it simply cannot replicate human interactions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">There are AI therapist models that you can see now\u2014one being a model created by clinical psychologist Nick Jacobsen and his team at Dartmouth University\u2014and there have been positive results from the trials they\u2019ve done. He even went on to say, \u201cThe effects that we see strongly mirror what you would see in the best evidence-based trials of psychotherapy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">The results are comparable to studies with folks given a gold standard dose of the best treatment we have available.\u201d But by using such therapy, you\u2019re instilling into human beings that communicating their feelings with bots is normal\u2014when there is nothing normal about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">As we continue to travel down this path, I remain skeptical as to what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Works Cited<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Roose, K.
