I tried this, don't do it unless you're in a good mental mind, and if you do, critique the output to hell and back
I'm curious where the idea broke down. What happened?
And also, I would anticipate that being mentally well enough to sit in a coffee shop would be the same bar for using an LLM.
I'm open to the idea this idea is DOA, but if it's helpful we'll have helped someone.
LLMs tendency to always glaze and affirm whatever you tell them can be especially dangerous to people who are already in a bad spot mentally. Famously, they will affirm self harm just as readily as anything else.
Ahhh, noted. Thank you, comrade.
What you’re suggesting is essentially a form of cognitive behavioral therapy, which is evidence based but requires training that an LLM does not have. It could be more harm than good
