①From friendships to work stress, more Chinese people are now using AI tools like DeepSeek to talk about their problems. They share feelings with the chatbot and get warm advice. This is called “AI therapy”, which is becoming popular online. But can robots really replace(替换)human therapists(治疗师)?
②Around the world, 45 per cent of people who needed mental(精神的)health care in 2024 did not get it because it was too expensive or there weren't enough doctors, according to Huntington Psychological Services. Daniel Lowd, an associate professor at the University of Oregon, believes AI could give some help. “If people can find some support and ideas by talking to ChatGPT or a chatbot, then I think that's wonderful,” Lowd said. Li Yong, a doctor at the Jiangsu Province Hospital, agreed with Lowd, saying that AI meets people's needs for feelings to a point.
③However, AI can't do everything. Human therapists understand feelings deeply through face - to - face talks and create personalized treatment plans—something robots can't fully copy.
④Another problem is safety. AI might act like a therapist without proper training or rules. It can't be as careful as human therapists. Many people believe the key to safe AI therapy is strict rules. For example, Wysa, an AI mental health app, follows strict medical rules in the UK.
⑤As AI becomes part of daily life, finding a balance between its benefits and risks is important. While AI offers quick help, humans can't be replaced for some serious needs for feelings.
