Why does everyone rate AI (GPT) the highest when it comes to being a therapist? I think there are five reasons:
Extremely low economic cost, with marginal cost being 0
No time restrictions, you can vent even in the most painful midnight hours
Unlimited patience, you can talk anytime, incompletely, or in the most detailed way
Zero shame cost, anything you’re afraid to say to humans, you can say to AI
Long-term continuity, tracking your long-term changes, something traditional therapists find hard to remember and follow up on
Essentially, AI systematically removes the core barriers in human psychological counseling:
Expensive, time restrictions, patience, shame, and continuity
