through therapy-themed bots that claim to have credentials and confidentiality "with inadequate controls and disclosures."

That right there is some straight up bullshit. These people are living in a fantasy world. There is no legal provision for a goddamn chat bot to be "credentialed" for any purpose at all, especially where human mental health is concerned.

I'm as big a supporter of technology and science as the next person, but this slavish worship of solutions to math problems as a substitute for God is going to stop, or AI is going to get regulated into oblivion, and that might not be a bad outcome.

AI is very complex math that simulates the right answer. It is physically impossible for it to be anything else. If you claim otherwise you are not only being unscientific, you're a liar.
