@lucydev @KatS Nothing is ever gonna work right, not even humans. Different technologies are at different points on the price-to-mistakes curve, our job is to find a combination that minimizes price while also minimizing mistakes and harm caused. E.G. it is definitely true that humans are much, much better psychologists than LLMs, but LLLMs are free, much more widely available in abusive environments, speak your language, even if you are in a foreign country, and work at 4AM on a Saturday when you get dumped by your partner. Human psychologists do not. Very often, the choice isn't between an LLM and a human, the real choice is between an LLM and nothing (and the richer you are, the less true this is, hence the "class divide" in opinions about tech). And I'm genuinely unsure which option wins here, but considering the rate of change over the last 3 years, I woulndn't bet towards "nothing" winning for long.
