“The LLMs just reflect you back to you with better spelling.”

That technique goes all the way back to the first software “therapist”, ELIZA, created in 1964-1966 by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT.

Even if you talk to a human therapist that is often what you get.

"How does that make you feel?"

Who cares? I am here to find out techniques for dealing with some problems I am having.

Feelings are mostly irrelevant.
