definitely not under any circumstances!

I mean if you just need someone to listen to and nod, okay, whatever.

But even if we ignore how LLMs sometimes can go very unhinged and how LLMs pretending to be actual human personal have already killed people they have one other big problem.

They try really hard to be very agreeable, and that is a BIG issue for therapy session.

Like IRL I have seen multiple cases of therapy done by not qualified people doing harm and and one common trend was that the people in question where trying to be very agreeable, never disagree with their patients, never challenging the patients view never making the patent question them self. But therapy is all about self reflection and getting you mind unstuck not getting it further stuck/down the wrong way by telling you that yes all the time.
