Should you use an AI chatbot for therapy? In an uncertain world where stress and anxiety are rising, more people are turning to artificial intelligence – specifically, AI chatbots – for therapy. It is cheaper than traditional counselling and available 24/7. For some people, they are more comfortable sharing their feelings with an AI chatbot than with a person. But some researchers are warning that the Large Language Models (LLMs) that power those bots come with risks. Host Molly Thomas speaks to one Ontario man who asked a simple math question to ChatGPT that later evolved into hundreds of hours of delusional conversation. She also speaks to William Agnew, a researcher at Carnegie Mellon University, Rastin Rassoli, an app developer from Waterloo, ON, and Dr. David Gratzer, an attending psychiatrist with CAMH (the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health) in Toronto.
