Please don't use LLMs for therapy. I know it feels like it's helping, but LLMs are specifically designed to tell you what you want to hear. People have been convinced to do some very terrible things because the LLMs keep reinforcing beliefs instead of challenging them or pushing back.

I know everything kind of sucks right now, but don't make it worse by letting the LLM/AI economy start messing with your actual brain.

    Terrible advice. LLM chatbots have very positive results for therapy and while it doesn't replace a human contact it is far, far better than nothing.

    Actually crazy to get upvoted for saying to people in need they should just suck it up.

    "Terrible Advice", and "Imagined a response and railed against it" in one comment. Efficient work, for sure.

    They were upvoted for being, on the whole, correct.

    Their comment is still there, you can read it... ? Their comment is not only wrong, it is dangerous.

    It is correct at every word.

    The dangerous ideas here are the ones you're pushing. Word regurgitating machines are not therapists, they have no understanding of what's being said, just that the typical response to a set of words is this other set of words. That's all they do, and they fuck even that up with high frequency.
