AI manufacturers are pushing hard for AI builds-AI, which will have a big impact on the mental health of AI

In today’s column, I examine the current trend of AI manufacturers like Anthropic eagerly pursuing the use of AI to further advance AI, commonly known as AI-builds-AI, and then explain how this will significantly impact AI mental health.

Here’s the deal. Hundreds of millions of people are currently using generative AI and large language models (LLMs) to get mental health advice, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT and GPT-5, xAI Grok, Google Gemini, Microsoft CoPilot, and so on. The type and capabilities of the underlying AI are crucial to how well or poorly mental health advice performs. Some speculate that by advancing AI through the use of AI rather than through human intervention, the result could be extraordinarily spectacular for those who seek advice from AI – or completely disastrous.

You see, optimistic…
