I agree that this like everything else is nuanced. For instance, I think if people who use gen AI as a tool to help with their mental health are knowledgeable about the limitations, then they can craft some ways to use it while minimizing the negative sides. Eg. Maybe you can set some boundaries like you talk to the AI chat bot but you never take any advice from it. However, i think in the average case it's going to make things worse.
I've talked to a lot of people around me about gen AI recently and I think the vast majority of people are misinformed about how it works, what it does, and what the limitations are.
