- OkayPhysicist 4y agoAnd this is one of those situations where you don't go tearing off bandages without sutures in hand. Something not being a complete solution is not a good argument for eliminating it, until such a solution exists.
- ineedasername 4y agoMost of mental health treatment is a band-aid, and this is true anywhere in the world & no matter how much money you have. Causes are often unknown and when treatment like medications work we often don't know why they work.
- hammyhavoc 4y agoThe implication here isn't that the treatment is a band-aid, it's that an LLM being an acceptable substitution for not being able to access a real human therapist due to money is a band-aid on a flawed healthcare system. Like so many people on HN, they want to throw technological solutions at social problems.
