I assume that CBT = "Cognitive Behavioural Therapy" ?
It seems that you're saying that a therapist will be "rubbish unless they use basic Cognitive Behavioural Therapy concepts" ? i.e. that this is the only valid approach to therapy?
I don't think that this is true at all.
But I do agree that a LLM that is basically "echo-chamber as a service" and will supply confirmation bias, but never push you even a single step out of your comfort zone. And this is useless for therapy. Absolutely pointless and counterproductive. It is not any of the valid approaches.

I believe the parent poster is saying that CBT is the only form of therapy you can trust an LLM to pull off because it's straightforward to administer.
- SideburnsOfDoom 2y agoIn that case, the questionable statement is the assumption that a LLM can pull off any form of therapy at all.
- netbsdusers 2y agoComputerised CBT is even already being delivered and by quite a bit less sophisticated systems than LLMs. Resourcing constraints have made it very popular in the UK.
