There are a lot of awful therapists out there. I wager that Claude Sonnet 3.7 given a suitable, straightforward system prompt would handily outperform non-doctoral degree therapists in a clinical trial, even if the humans had the advantage of in-person sessions.
- taurath 1y agoI would want to bet against it but then we’d have to agree on what “performance” means. Also agree there are horrible therapists. The funny part about horrible therapists is that sometimes they can actually be extremely good for one population of people. Will AI be able to connect with all sorts of people? Will we have AI politicians (do we now?)? It’s sorta like saying AI will be a better friend. We’ll see about that - I don’t consider profit seeking enterprises to be my friend.
