In an AI-simulated peer support setting, mental health professionals consistently identified missed distress cues and premature advice-giving in peer supporters' responses, revealing a systematic gap between peer and professional standards.
Mainstream conversational models show escalating affective misalignments and ethical guidance failures during staged emotional trajectories, organized into a taxonomy of interactional breakdowns.
Generative AI should be evaluated through computational hermeneutics using iterative, human-inclusive benchmarks that measure cultural context rather than isolated model outputs.
