A recent study from Ohio State University suggests ChatGPT can effectively mimic couple's therapy. Researchers found participants struggled to distinguish between advice from human therapists and ChatGPT, with the AI even scoring higher on psychotherapy principles.
ChatGPT demonstrated empathy, adapted to various contexts, and maintained a balanced tone in simulated relationship conflicts. While AI cannot replace human therapists for complex issues, it could offer preliminary support where access to specialists is limited, provided ethical guidelines are established.
