    If you use Ai for therapie atleast selfhost and keep in mind that its goal is not to help you but to have a conversation that statisvies you. You are basicly talking to a yes-man.

    Ollama with OpenWebUi is relativly easy to install, you can even use something like edge-tts to give it a Voice.

      Therapy is more about talking to yourself anyway. A therapists job generally isn’t to give you the answers, but help lead you down the right path.

      If you have serious issues get an actual professional, but if you’re mostly just trying to process things and understand yourself or a situation better, it’s not bad.

        to lead you down the right path, yes… llms will lead you down an arbitrary bath, and when that path is biased by your own negative feelings it can be incredibly damaging

          I assumed you had 2 points, the self hosting point about what you’re saying now, and

          “keep in mind that its goal is not to help you but to have a conversation that statisvies you. You are basicly talking to a yes-man.”

          about its ability to be a good therapist or not in general. I was responding to that. Sorry if I misunderstood.
