This is banning claiming your AI is a licensed therapist in the State of Illinois. If you have a court order to attend therapy for drug abuse related reasons you can’t just use ChatGPT according to this law.

Reading the text of the bill as a non-lawyer, it seems to also ban AI that provides therapy. I don't know if the AI needs to be explicitly labeled as therapy or if the content of chat could be decided to be therapy in a courtroom.

It's also banning licensed therapists from using AI. FTA:

> Licensed therapists in Illinois are now forbidden from using AI to make treatment decisions or communicate with clients, though they can still use AI for administrative tasks

Your doctor can diagnose your cancer with AI, but your therapist can't diagnose your ADHD with AI.

Stupid law is stupid.

		Not that reliably diagnosing cancer is easy, but reliably diagnosing a mental issue is much harder. That's not a stupid place to put a hard restriction.
