I don’t think empathy can be killed. It’s whether you have have it or you don’t. I think AI can help people to some extent though. Have you ever heard a therapy application called Woebot? That app teaches you about the basic of CBT so that you can rationalize your symptoms and gives you direction about what you should do when your symptoms are flaring up. I do believe though, rational thought alone won’t really help me. Most of time when I’m having an episode, I don’t need all logic about this and that. I need a hug. I need an empathy.
