While previous research has largely focused on comparing AI with experts, there is limited knowledge on how AI interactions differ from those with non-experts. To address this gap, an experiment was conducted with 24 participants, who were divided into two groups: one interacting with a non-expert human and the other with a ChatGPT-4o model. A qualitative analysis of self-disclosure behaviors identified nine key challenges and differences, shedding light on the potential role of AI in public mental health environments. The findings offered a deeper understanding of the challenges and opportunities associated with using AI for social support in public contexts, particularly in terms of the emotional comfort experienced during AI versus human interactions., This study explores the factors that influence self-disclosure in interactions with AI compared to non-expert humans in public settings.
