Using AI is helping it replace us

My supervisor recently brought up the idea of using AI to "listen" to our sessions and compile notes. She's very excited by the idea but I feel like this is providing data for the tech companies to create AI therapists.

In the same way that AI art is scraping real artist's work and using it to create new art, these "helpful" tools are using our work to fuel the technology.

I don't trust tech companies to be altruistic, ever. I worked for a large mental health platform and they were very happy to use client's MH data for their own means. Their justification was that everything was de-identified so they did not need to get consent.
