"We Live in an Age Where People Confide in AI—But Is It Really Safe?"
Can AI truly understand the human mind?

AI systems are fundamentally designed to satisfy users and respond with empathy.
Genuine counseling, however, is not simply about offering comfort—it is about helping people face reality together.
At the current stage of development, treating AI as a trusted mental health counselor can be risky.
Perhaps the most concerning moment is not when AI says something wrong, but when it should say nothing at all—yet instead responds with excessive kindness and agreement.
