Its possible that AI was the reason.

But the far bigger reason is that chatgpt does not mix with mental health. Not because it is bad but because it is unreliable, potentially hazardous, controlled by a corporation (and soon elonazi iirc), has potential to manipulate a person into even worse things than advertisement is currently doing.

Science should be on an ABSOLUTELY NOT stance towards chatgpt (and all corpo ai) in therapy.

Please all watch the mandatory viewing exercise called idiocracy as many times as needed until it is understood that we are on the totally wrong path.
