What really upsets me is the idea of making therapist LLMs.

They may be able to regurgitate an impressive amount of psychology texts, but that doesn't give them the theory of mind, observational skill, experience or judgement needed to be a good psychotherapist.

That one is doomed to failure from a customer perspective IMO - not because people want, or therapists do, anything that you’re saying though.

But often because the real reason why people are in therapy is to get someone else’s perspective on what they’re experiencing.

And fundamentally, that is destined to fail when it’s not an actual human involved.
