Everyone has problems and having an innocent hand that is able to help us in the darkest moments is usually the best alternative to get out of them, but we do not always have enough budget to pay for their service nor do we always agree with it in the same place.
What if artificial intelligence could save time, displacements and money and help us resolve some internal conflicts? This question has gone through the head of many people and, of course, the answer is rapid: affirmative.
Two of the main virtues of AI are, on the one hand, that you can easily access it and, on the other, they have much to offer. It also becomes the engine of change in employment and, although it is difficult for many to believe it, they are already able to assume complex tasks and attributable to the human being.
In short, it is a technology that soon, if you are not doing it, will assume increasingly specialized functions in fields such as health and education, as Bill Gates explained in an interview in The Tonight Show and have indicated on other occasions the researchers of prestigious media such as Nature.
Online company in the absence of time and resources
Psychology is one of the disciplines that is most noticing the rise of artificial intelligence, because there are already many who consider that they can access it through free and accessible tools, such as Gemini, Chatgpt or Claude.
These platforms are designed to inform, respond and create, they can also comfort people, among other virtues. In short, they have the mission of accompanying and that is precisely what many people need, without deepening excessively in their problems or receiving advice that they do not want to listen.
And this is delicate, since AI can subscribe an opinion despite not being correct or objective, as it can also give a wrong solution to a problem to be opletet as hallucinations, distortions of reality.
Specialized media such as the magazine have arrived at this conclusion Nature, That in a recent report it has indicated that Chatgpt offers an interesting complement to psychotherapy for people with mental health problems who have not received professional help and, therefore, that they could not verify what it is like to have access to a real experience.
However, experts such as the Dock, specialized in behavioral behavior, believe that these chatbots can also serve as Initiation Guide in Therapysince with them you can overcome the stigma of asking for professional help to then access it in a traditional and legitimate way.
A A IA to walk with lead feet
The problem of a chatbot in the role of a therapist has been seen in sounded cases. One of them is Tomás Mazza, known streamer For the followers of the evening of Ibai Llanos, he had a few months ago that Chatgpt had served him as therapy And that, among other things, he had come to use this tool as a substitute for a psychologist or a psychiatrist because he did not charge to help him.
«If you know how to use it, it is incredible, on emotional level. He is not a person, he is not someone who wants to catch you to continue doing sessions, such as a piscologist or a psychiatrist,» he explained to the also youtuber René Zz on his Zzen Póstcast channel, insisting that the key to obtaining the most accurate answers had been «being honest.»
Despite having insisted that all those who were recommended had noticed the benefit of using it, Mazza He soon retracted and recognized that AI had followed the game and simply answered what he wanted to hear.
«I lied to me Chatgpt. I had told him something and, then, to see his intelligence, I told him something else and I followed my rhythm and said» you think this instead of this, you lied to me. «
The case of Mazza, who has picked up among the youngest – who are the main followers of the youtuber– It once again shows how there are roles that are not substitutable by machines and that users must walk with lead feet when considering what this technology is capable of doing.
