Thanks for that Lembot_0004!
(Not in any an LLM powered lemmy bot!)

Chatexperts demand you to bring their money to them, not to some almost free LLM alternatives that in many cases would be quite effective.

Quite effective at what? Because it certainly isn’t therapy.

The AI chatbots are extremely effective therapists. However, they’re only graded on how long they can keep people talking.

LLMs are not effective therapists, because they’re not therapists. They cannot treat anyone.

Not all “therapists” know what they’re doing, not all people need actual “therapy”, for some a little chat will suffice. The world is a complicated thing. Only one thing is almost always true – never believe anyone who talks about competitors.

You might as well talk to yourself than a chatbot, or read some stories.
Having an overly agreeable puree of language dispensed to you in place of actual conversation with you is neither healthy nor meaningfully engaging.
Conversation is valuable because it is an actual external perspective. LLM chatbots are designed as echo chambers. They have their uses but conversation for the sake of conversation is not one of them.

They’re designed to generate natural sounding language. It’s a tool. What you put in is what you get out.

There is almost no chance you are not talking to a chatbot.

If all you need is a chat, then go find someone flesh and blood to talk to.

Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps, right?

If you just need to get to point A, then go find some flesh and blood transportation system: a horse, for example.
