Over the long term I have significant hopes for AI talk therapy, at least for some uses. Two opportunities stand out that might have potential:

In some cases I think people will talk to a soulless robot more freely than to a human professional.
Machine learning systems are good at pattern recognition and this is one component of diagnosis. This meta analysis found that LLM models performed about as accurately as physicians, with the exception of expert-level specialists. In time I think it’s undeniable that there is potential here.
