Sometimes I wonder that even the therapists in psychotherapy can be humanly flawed and biased--thus failing to root out people's issues, or in the wrong manner.
Maybe a sophisticated bot/system might, generally, be better at rooting an individual's issues. But I would fear that a human experiencing deep emotional stress would be much safer in the psychotherapy environment v.s. with a bot in any random place where that person is most likely alone.
