Can artificial intelligence work as a therapist? I illustrated and article written by Lauri Seppälä to “Hyvä terveys” health magazine (3/2026) about AI as therapist. The AI bot can indeed win a real therapist in that sense that it is anytime available for you, night and day, endless hours. But it is also developed to please you and that is not necessary best for you mental health in the long term. I illustrated this tiny dark room where this little bit weird AI bot is hugging it’s patient with it’s 6-fingered hands. Tissue papers naturally on the floor.
