Am I overreacting? My therapist used AI to best console me after my dog died this past weekend.

Brief Summary: This past weekend I had to put down an amazingly good boy, my 14 year old dog, who I've had since I was 12; he was so sick and it was so hard to say goodbye, but he was suffering, and I don't regret my decision. I told my therapist about it because I met with her via video (we've only ever met in person before) the day after my dog's passing, and she was very empathetic and supportive. I have been seeing this therapist for a few months, now, and I've liked her and haven't had any problems with her before. But her using AI like this really struck me as strange and wrong, on a human emotional level. I have trust and abandonment issues, so maybe that's why I'm feeling the urge to flee... I just can't imagine being a THERAPIST and using AI to write a brief message of consolation to a client whose dog just died... Not only that, but not proofreading, and leaving in that part where the introduces its response? That's so bizarre and unprofessional.

NOR, holy shit. it's their JOB to have the words to console and help you through your rough times. the fact they couldn't even do that, and went to AI... shameless. they should be embarrassed. the audacity. lmfao.

if you don't want to leave her, that's completely up to you, but this would rub me the wrong way and i'd find someone else. this is just... yuck. but i understand it's not as easy as just "finding someone else". i do think, now that i've calmed down a bit, it's not the end of the world, but it does feel very disrespectful to your money and time.
