The patient who experienced the latter affront, a 31-year-old Los Angeles man that Tech Review identified only by the first name Declan, said that he was in the midst of a virtual session with his therapist when, upon the connection becoming scratchy, the client suggested they both turn off their cameras and speak normally.

Instead of broadcasting a normal blank screen, however, Declan's therapist inadvertently shared his own — and "suddenly, I was watching [the therapist] use ChatGPT."

"He was taking what I was saying and putting it into ChatGPT," the Angeleno told the magazine, "and then summarizing or cherry-picking answers."

There has got to be some HIPAA issues with that.

Never go back. Report it as a ethics breech and seek to have any license they have revoked.

If the therapist really did this, sue him/her to kingdom come for breach of patient confidentiality.

This seems like something you could get sued over, if not for misrepresenting your services, then for insurance fraud.

I wouldn't consider any therapy delivered via zoom "therapy".

If I wanted LLM therapy I can get that without paying an absurd surcharge.

why do i need such a therapist in the first place then? like, if i really wanted, i could just ask an LLM by myself💀

When she asked the therapist about the AI usage, she too owned up — and claimed that she'd used it because she had never had a dog before herself.

Dog?

Also, the article using the em dash just to fuck with us.

I would sue.

These assholes are giving your private medicial info to a third party without any consent.

Holy shit.

We're all so very, very fucked.

Yeah, if I found out my therapist was doing that I would fire them on the spot and contact whatever regulatory boards could be involved.

I would be, too. Þey paid money for someþing þey could have gotten from DuckDuckGo Assistant? I'd be looking into a lawsuit; maybe money can buy a little happiness.
