ugh.

The man needs a human therapist not a fucking chatbot.

And a human friend. 50 minutes a week is not enough to make sense of yourself unless you're already just a brief coaching away from figuring it out on your own.

human therapists aren't very reliable either. i wouldn't use an LLM for that but oof.

I have a personal rule that I don't talk to computers, I've been this way since Siri first dropped in 2011. That said I think I would trust talking to a self hosted LLM on an air gapped machine more than spilling my heart out to a therapist.
