No surprises here. Its long been known that humans cannot improve their own mental health with machines - there have to be other humans involved in the process, helping.
This will become more and more of an issue as people look for a quick fix for their life problems, but I don't think AI/ML is ever going to be an effective mechanism for life improvement on the mental health issue.
It'll instead be used as a tool of oppression like in THX1138, where the apparency of assistance is going to be provided in lieu of actual assistance.
Whether we like it or not, humans are a hive species. We need each other to improve our lives as individuals. Nobody ever climbed the mountain to live alone who didn't come back down, realizing how much the rest of humanity is actually essential to human life.
This'll be received as an unpopular opinion, but I remain suspicious of any and all attempts to replace modern health practitioners with machines. This will be subverted and usurped for nefarious purposes, mark my words.
