Why is the opening story so vague? Middle school counselor gets an automated alert, calls parent, calls police??? No explanation of what caused the alert? Is this supposed to be presented as a success? Then it says "She believes that the interaction built trust between [counselor] and the family."
And other monitoring systems "which would refer the student to in-school suspension " for... reporting "my mom beat me with a pole" or "my uncle touches me"?? I'm so confused by all of this. I don't use AI at all, and never touched AI therapy. I must be so far out-of-the-loop. None of this makes sense.
I've heard this content classified as "traditional" but what I've seen of the manosphere+friends is something else truly terrifying. It's a mix of cult-like masochism and rhetoric you'd expect of a mass shooter or bomber; and it's public and widely-viewed, liked... I grew up Catholic and in "traditional values". This stuff goes beyond "woman is the home-maker" and "a family is a man and a woman"; to "women are sex slaves and property that men dominate". It sounds like the ideology of some vile hentai, and perhaps that's where it comes from.
Hell.., some of this rhetoric IS from mass-killers. The New Zealand mosque shooter was inspired by "Great Replacement Theory" at a time where that ideology was relegated to niche crevices of 4chan. Now extremist racist/incel beliefs are a core part of the platform of UK Reform, USA MAGA, German AfD, and general pronatalist ideology. And those parties are rising or seized power.
