		SketchySeaBeast 6 months ago \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: LLMs should not replace therapists Sorry, I'm asking about ChatGPT, and pointing out how it's a flaw that you need to specifically ask it to call you on your bullshit. You seem to be talking about therapists and close friends. In my experience a therapist will, although gently.

It is not a flaw. It is a tool that can be used in various ways.

It is like saying "I was told that with Python I can make a website, I downloaded Python - they lied, I have no website".

Basic prompts are "you are a helpful assistant" with all its consequences. Using such assistant as a therapist might be suboptimal.
