But they (the kind of AI we are talking about) don’t “understand.” They don’t think. They don’t feel. They aren’t people. They aren’t subjects of experience. You can’t be embarrassed talking to a wall nor an AI That’s why it’s NOT therapy as Jonathan Shedler says. A new argument:

I was reading through a brand new systematic review of randomized trials to reduce weight in kids. The results were so bad. Interventions were "effective" because the result was significant. Pay no mind to the effect being to reduce BMI from the 50th to the 49th percentile.
