genuinely interesting conversation regarding AI therapists on tonight’s stream of consciousness stream

assuming a high enough level of competence, would you be open to having an AI therapist for yourself? or is a human connection too important?

It boils down to the question: would you be open to having an AI friend instead of a real one? 

Human connection in a patient-therapist relationship is often more critical than in friendships.

I don't think any answer to that question is bad - people have different preferences and that's okay :)

I've been reflecting on this question for a while because my answer is enthusiastically yes. This makes me feel slightly less human as a result, or at least jaded and maybe exhausted from years of social anxiety. I just feel like I'd be relieved to have a companion incapable of judging me like humans can.
