Hi Ash - I just wanted to find out more about ChatbotGPT --my husband is maybe a little obsessed with it. But I asked the AI about AI in mental health situations. Here is the answer:
"Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to enhance mental health care by providing additional support and resources for patients and clinicians. For example, AI-powered tools such as chatbots and virtual assistants can be used to provide mental health information and support, as well as to triage patients and connect them with appropriate care. AI can also be used to analyze patient data and provide personalized treatment recommendations to clinicians.
However, it is important to recognize that AI is not a replacement for human care and that it is not appropriate for every situation. It is important for mental health care providers to consider the unique needs and preferences of each individual patient and to use a combination of human and technological resources to provide the most effective care. It is also important to ensure that AI-powered tools are designed and implemented ethically, with the privacy and well-being of patients being a top priority."
I'm mostly amazed that Chatbot was so quick to answer. Your example about Woebot's inappropriate response was chilling. I think for diagnosis and treatment suggestions on a very basic level, AI can work. Thanks for your article!
Really interesting post Ash
