I mentioned set and setting in a thread, and I guess the person didn't appreciate it (by the way, THREE 737 MAXes). What am I talking about when I say "set and setting"? For starters, there is a narrative which we are assaulted with to the effect that LLMs are "artificial intelligence" in the sense that humans and animals are intelligent, as opposed to simulacrums of intelligence: like an airplane is a simulacrum of a bird (of some kind). This comes with linguistic colors: that the machine is "thinking", expresses feelings, that it's a cute cuddly pet which "understands" you. This is the default "set and setting". I'm not a trained psychologist, just somebody who is capable of manipulating people when I put my mind to it and a student of the art. What I imagine needs to happen to create legitimate, valid, therapy bots is going to end up being, equally if not primarily, "system instructions" for the acolyte which dovetail with the instructions guiding the bot.
