Calling in at Dr. GPT.

The article titled "Calling in at Dr. GPT" discusses the potential impact of language models, specifically social bots, on mental health. The authors examine whether these bots can provide a safe haven for individuals with mental illness by offering a means of communication free from physical contact. The study finds that while superusers of the platform SimSimi report higher levels of perceived depression, the causality between excessive use of social bots and mental health is unclear. The authors suggest further research and experimentation to determine whether social bots can effectively address the needs of individuals with mental health issues. [Extracted from the article]
