How will it help with therapy? A healthy mind needs challenges, not constant dopamine. This will lead to addiction and dependance.

I think they mean actual talk therapy with an AI therapist.

Therapists are overloaded RL and many people can't afford them. An AI which can serve that role would help a lot of people work through issues. Don't understand the addiction and dopamine comment. Literally talking about therapy with an AI instead of a person.
