Re: “This therapist helped clients feel better — it was a chatbot” (April 27, Enterprise):
I learn the article concerning the effectiveness of AI therapists with nice curiosity. Former Surgeon Basic Vivek Murthy has referred to as our time the “age of loneliness.” However even when there aren’t sufficient licensed therapists, you possibly can name the Washington Heat Line and discuss to an actual human who will hear and allow you to be heard. They received’t repair or let you know what to do, however will remind you that somebody actually cares, that you’re not alone, and that you just matter.
I’d argue that all of us profit from extra connection and that we’d nonetheless moderately discuss to an individual who can swap tales, laughs, tears. Machines can’t do this … but. Settle for no substitutes. Name the Heat Line at 877-500-9276.
