>professional therapy is expensive…For professional health care, there is a waitlist

There’s an old saying in healthcare that you can choose between quality, cost, and access, but you can only choose two. (Peter Attia also adds “choice” to that list).

Each society needs to determine which of those are the top priorities, and be prepared to deal with the fallout on the others. Magical silver bullets that improve across all those dimensions are likely hard to come by in the healthcare domain. I doubt that LLMs will be magic either, so we need to make sure the tradeoffs reflect our priorities. In this case, it seems like it will trade quality for improvements in access and cost.
