FOR PEOPLE

Benefits and downsides

The worksheet presents chatbots as aids to reflection and mental-health conversation, while explicitly relaying research concerns about unsafe therapist replacement and excessive validation of users’ beliefs. The enabling code describes that represented use, not proven therapeutic efficacy.

FOR AI AND ITS OPERATORS

Benefits reported

The worksheet describes increased chatbot use in mental-health conversations, including a cited 64% usage figure for 25–34-year-olds. It does not establish an actual ban or operational reduction.

These are two separate readings of what the sources describe. Reported claims and risks do not by themselves establish a real-world effect.
