I started this podcast a few weeks after the launch of GPT-4, stupidly enthusiastic as to the potential of Al in my work as a psychotherapist. Engaging with the technology has brought up numerous koans, including Hillman and Ventura's provocative "We've Had A Hundred Years of Psychotherapy— And The World Is Getting Worse." If Al can replicate empathy, companionship, and insight, why would we seek it from another person? What elements of therapy hold genuine significance and depth for us? What occurs when an Al entity uncovers or mimics aspects of our humanity we'd rather not acknowledge?

6. Over the AI Rainbow: Six Months of GPT-4 in Therapy

In this episode of The AI Therapist I explore the highs and lows of my journey so far through a voice note sent to my fellow therapist and friend, Carolyn. Among the two of us, Carolyn remains more optimistic about the current state of play in AI Therapy. In contrast, my perspective on implementing GPT in therapeutic scenarios has shifted towards greater ambivalence. This lays the foundation for some thoughts on what to do with this podcast in its current iteration.
