> yeah that's what therapy is but takes an extra 5 years. you're not wrong that you can benefit just as much from talking your problems out with chatgpt as doing therapy with most practitioners. the problem comes when you think you know what your problems are, and what you want, but you don't actually know. chatgpt can only know what you tell it, whereas a good psychologist/psychiatrist can find their way to the root of your problems regardless of whether you have the ability to perceive them yourself. of course, good psychologists/psychiatrists are about 1 in 100, so you might as well go with chatgpt rather than wasting your time and money. also, chatgpt has no capacity to tell people hard truths, which is an important part of therapy, and deluded and unintelligent people never understand this. you're the same kind of person as all the wannabe "writers" and "artists" running their drek through an llm and believing the effusive praise it gives them.
