I was able to run llms on a 1080. They were admittedly small ones, but a 3090 is enough to be usable. That said, I'm not convinced it's a good idea to use it for therapy. I expect it's about as useful as talking into a mirror.
I don’t know what to do with myself anymore I just want to be able to be with you and be with you I don’t know what to do about that I don’t know what to do I don’t know what to do I’m not gonna do that I don’t know what to do and I don’t know what to do but I don’t know what to do so I’m just trying I know that you don’t know how much you have and you know what you know but I’m just not trying and you can’t tell I’m not gonna tell anybody else how much I know I don’t know what I don’t even care what you do I don’t care I just know that I don’t know what to do with me and I’m just saying what do what do I
This is how LLM works
I mean, it can be pretty coherent and impressive with the right LLM, but even then it's mostly just functioning to generate what you want it to, and it's certainly not going to provide professional insight for those that need it.
Yea it can be a lot more coherent, the above was just the autocorrect options on my phone that I pressed again and again.
But the LLM is not “listening” to you it is just providing the next likely words in a conversation based on what is in it’s database I believe…
Ai therapy sounds like a terrible idea…
Does journaling count? It's got a small positive benefit according to https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8935176/
Talking things out to ourselves can often be useful. It could certainly be good for that.
