This 100% is not true.
We can't properly even see rates of STI increases in communities quickly, so worrying about an AI that would have IQ's at human level, which is decades away, is not relevant.
This 100% could be done with written notes.
Cost is the only factor.
Making a therapist cheaper will save lives.
I suspect electronic notes saves pennies in the dollar, compared to the other expenses of therapy.
