Well, because in a worst case scenario, if the pilot of that big airliner decides to do ChatGPT therapy instead of a real one and then suicides while flying, also other people feel the consequences.

Pilots don't go to real therapy, because real pilots don't get sad

  • Yeah I was going to say, as a pilot there is no such thing as "therapy" for pilots. You would permanently lose your medical if you even mentioned the word to your doctor.

That's the worst case scenario? I can always construct worse ones. Suppose Donald Trump goes to a bad therapist and then decides to launch nukes at Russia. Damn, this therapy profession needs to be hard regulated. It could lead to the extinction of mankind.

  • Doc: The encounter could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the spacetime continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted, that's a worst-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localised, limited to merely our own galaxy.

    Marty: Well, that's a relief.
