The article discusses how AI, particularly through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques, can help people navigate everyday emotional struggles when traditional therapy isn't accessible. Amy Morin's app, Mentally Strong, employs AI to guide users in recognizing their thought patterns and suggesting coping mechanisms. However, Morin highlights the technology's limitations, noting that AI lacks the ability to perceive non-verbal cues and emotional intricacies. This makes AI a poor substitute for addressing severe mental health issues that require personal and human interaction.
AI-based therapy, particularly using cognitive behavioral techniques, can provide useful support for dealing with everyday issues, but it lacks the ability to understand emotional nuances.
While AI can help clients decide whether to address a problem or their feelings about it, it cannot replace the nuanced understanding of human emotions.
