AI vs. Human Therapy

Artificial intelligence is often marketed as “therapy”: low-cost, always available, and sometimes pitched as a substitute for the real thing. But therapy is not simply a set of exercises or scripted reassurances. Its core work is rooted in human presence, where healing, change, and growth unfold through the relationship itself. AI mental health tools can be valuable for support and practice, but therapy remains a human encounter — and it is in that encounter where transformation truly happens.
