    Tbh therapists keep your data and are obligated to give them to authorities or report you if you act too silly.

    You can lobotimize a local LLM to say and act as you please. It’s not better than a therapist, but it’s more private than one.

      An example of an appropriate check and balance. If you are planning to hurt yourself or others, an LLM can’t do anything to help you but a therapist can. It’s not if you’re acting “silly”.

            Depends on who they assume is going to be hurt to be fair. Forced incarceration does more harm then good here in the usa.

            May have prevented a death is kind of ridiculous. Forcing you to stay home forever probably prevented a death or two as well.

              You’re not getting committed for nothing, if it comes to that. I’m tired of the myth of therapists being happy to send away their patients for nothing.
