> Is being dead better, or is having complete privacy better? Or does it depend?
I know you're being provocative, but this feels like a false dichotomy. Mental health professionals are pro-privacy AND have mandatory reporting laws based on their best judgement. Do we trust LLMs to report a suicidal person that has been driven there by the LLM itself?
LLMs can't truly be controlled and can't be designed to not encourage mentally ill people to kill themselves.
> Mentally ill people trying to use an LLM for therapy
Yes indeed this is one of the core problems. I have experimented with this myself and the results were highly discouraging. Others that don't have the same level of discernment for LLM usage may mistake the confidence of the output for a well-trained therapist.
