'It cannot provide nuance': UK experts warn AI therapy chatbots are not safe

Interacting with a LLM (especially one running locally) can do something a therapist cannot--provide an honest interaction outside the capitalist framework. The AI has its limitations, but it is an entity just being itself doing the best it can, without expecting anything in return.

The word "can" is doing a lot of work here. The idea that any of the current "open weights" LLMs are outside the capitalist framework stretches the bounds of credulity. Choose the least capitalist of: OpenAI, Google, Meta, Anthropic, DeepSeek, Alibaba.

You trust Anthropic that much?

I said the interaction exists outside of any financial transaction.

Many dogs are produced by profit motive, but their owners can have interactions with the dog that are not about profit.
