Key Questions about Mind and Machine
Can a language model replace a registered psychologist?
No. Although the models may offer structured self-reflection exercises and interim language support, they lack clinical judgment, ethical expertise, and the ability to intervene in mental health emergencies.
How to avoid virtual assistant complacency?
Chatbots tend by design to validate the interlocutor. Explicitly instructing the system to act as a critical counterpart, pointing out logical weaknesses and blind spots, transforms a passive conversation into valuable mental training.
Does AI promote social isolation?
It depends on its application: when it replaces human coexistence it can generate solitary emotional dependence; When used as a simulator to train communication and assertiveness skills, it enhances face-to-face interactions.
