Was AI actually being used in any mental health services? I know there've been a lot of articles lately about AI fucking people up when acting as their therapist but I've always assumed that was in the context of "person doesn't have a real therapist, goes to chatgpt.com and vents to it on their own time", not "person is receiving professional help, which then has them talk to ChatGPT".
So in other words: Is this law actually doing anything? Or is it a pointless law targeting something that doesn't happen, so politicians can say they've done something without actually having done so?
Yes there are models and sites specifically advertising as AI therapists.
