Reality check: Youngsters now confide in AI for therapy

“I was having a really stressful day and I put down an emotional problem I was facing on Chat GPT. Surprisingly, it gave me a really interesting perspective where I took action and changed the problem I was facing. I thought that was amazing and started using it more and more,” says Kimsuka Iyer, a 35-year-old creative consultant who started using Chat GPT a few months ago, using it to document her thoughts, dreams, and even therapy notes in between her monthly therapy sessions.
