Llms potentially will do a far better job. One benefit of many - A therapist is 1 hour a week session or similar. An Llm will be there 24/7.

- lamename 1y agoBeing there 24/7? Yes. Better job? I'll believe it when I see it. You're arguing 2 different things at once
- MengerSponge 1y agoBut by arguing two different things at once it's possible to facilely switch from one to the other to your argument's convenience. Or do you not want to help people who are suffering? (/s)
- spondylosaurus 1y agoPlus, 24/7 access isn't necessarily the best for patients. Crisis hotlines exist for good reason, but for most other issues it can become a crutch if patients are able to seek constant reassurance vs building skills of resiliency, learning to push through discomfort, etc. Ideally patients are "let loose" between sessions and return to the provider with updates on how they fared on their own.
- foobarchu 1y agoThe LLM will never be there for you, that's one of the flaws in trying to substitute it for a human relationship. The LLM is "available" 24/7. This is not splitting hairs, because "being there" is a very well defined thing in this context.
- v5v3 1y agoA therapist isn't 'there for you'. He or she has a daily list if clients, ten mins before they will brush up on someone they doesn't remember since last week. And it's isn't in their financial interest to fix you. And human intelligence and life experience isn't distributed equally, many therapists have passed the training but are not very good. Same way lots of Devs with a degree aren't very good. Llms are not there yet but if keep developing could become excellent, and will be consistent. Lots already talk to ChatGPT orally. The big if, is whether the patient is willing to accept a non human.
- koakuma-chan 1y agoThere is no human relationship between you and your therapist, business relationship only.
