> - A replacement/substitute for a therapist? I doubt even GPT-4 can do that job better than actual therapist Maybe if you qualify that with “unusually good” therapist. IME even Eliza in Emacs is better than most therapists. ChatGPT surely leaves them in the dust. |

Not "unusually good", but a working match, sure. A thing not enough people realize is that therapy is like dating. Not every therapist is going to be a "good match" for you, so if things don't seem to click for some reason, just thank them and go look for another one.

If limited to textual channel, maybe. But a real therapy will have at least the visual channel (if on Zoom), or full presence (if in person) - there's a lot of information relevant to therapy that gets communicated this way. Tone, cadence, uncontrolled reactions, body language, etc. That alone gives even a mediocre therapist a leg up in this comparison.
