I might be going against the grain here:

For security, we already aren’t secure. Having digital files, emails, texts, even video sessions. Are any of these things really secure? I don’t think AI is any worse. I just asked H, too. They all have the same security risk. So for security reasons, it wouldn’t bother me.

For a computer interpreting a human, I can see that feeling violating. Like for technology to be able to summarize our humanness, our feelings and our experiences just feels like it takes away the whole purpose of therapy.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Scarlet. I agree about things not being secure, especially as I use email with Dr. T. I think he uses a more secure Zoom version now, but still, I imagine it could be hacked into.

I realized it was more about the second part, the computer interpreting a human. I fear that it would come up with a different summary of the session than what Dr. T would have come up with on his own. And I feared that what the AI would summarize would influence how he felt about me. As I said to him in the email, he's known me for years; the AI does not. And I had no idea how it would process more complex things like transference. Or even if I were, say, talking about my daughter, how would it know who that was? (As I refer to her by name in sessions.)
