What if talking to an AI for comfort is less therapy and more regression?In this episode of Relating to AI, Paula Fontenelle speaks with Mark Vahrmeyer, a psychotherapist who believes that using chatbots for emotional support is a form of infantile dependence. He argues that real growth comes from frustration, conflict, and the presence of another mind — things AI can’t provide. Together, they explore how digital “companionship” feeds loneliness, validation, and a dangerous illusion of connection.Find Mark Vahrmeyer: https://tinyurl.com/3ee8f7emDo you have a story or insights to share?
