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?

This is a fascinating question. @namekeeper wdyt?

I like the point on “almost invisible”. 

Do you think in this scenario it wouldn’t be weird that it’s not a human - ie someone that may have had a similar experience or you can imagine that it’s possible for them to?

This is a great Q. I think I’d be ok with an AI therapist, because every good therapist I’ve had has been almost invisible—making room for me to find my way rather than asserting themselves. But I think this may depend on the nature of the thing you’re dealing with that you need therapy to process.
