::I have seen your user page. There is an obsession with me. In contrast, there is not a single mention of you on my user page. Why don't you ask Grok if you are obsessed with me and then ask Grok if I am obsessed with you. And then ask your pastor his opinion on these matters in order to confirm Grok's results. Godspeed.

:::''Illinois has recently taken a major step in this direction by joining the first wave of U.S. states to regulate AI-powered therapy. The new [[law]], called the Wellness and Oversight for Psychological Resources Act, is the strictest so far: Therapy services must be offered only by a licensed professional, and these professionals may only use AI for administrative support and not “therapeutic communication” without human review.

:::''In practice, this means AI can be used behind-the-scenes for tasks like preparing and maintaining records, scheduling, billing, and organizing referrals. But any AI-generated therapeutic recommendations or treatment plans require a licensed professional’s review and approval. AI systems marketed as providing therapy on their own appear to be banned, and some have already blocked Illinois users from signing up. As the law gets enforced, courts and regulators will have to clarify where therapeutic communication begins and administrative support ends.

:::''It’s a start, but the trouble is that '''most people don’t meet AI in clinics. Instead, many use general-purpose chatbots like OpenAI’s ChatGPT for company and psychological relief.''' These interactions happen in private chat windows, sitting outside state licensure and inside everyday life. AI-mediated emotional support sought out by people on their devices is much harder to file under “therapeutic communication” or be regulated under a state law, however well intentioned.

:::''In our ongoing research at Data & Society, a nonprofit research institute, '''we see people turning to chatbots during anxiety spikes, late-night loneliness, and depressive spirals. Bots are eternally available, inexpensive, and typically nonjudgmental. Most people know bots aren’t human.''' Yet, as Brooks’ and Wongbandue’s stories show, '''attachment to bots builds through repeated interactions that can escalate to challenge people’s sense of [[reality]].'''
