And this is one of those situations where you don't go tearing off bandages without sutures in hand. Something not being a complete solution is not a good argument for eliminating it, until such a solution exists.

Most of mental health treatment is a band-aid, and this is true anywhere in the world & no matter how much money you have. Causes are often unknown and when treatment like medications work we often don't know why they work.

The implication here isn't that the treatment is a band-aid, it's that an LLM being an acceptable substitution for not being able to access a real human therapist due to money is a band-aid on a flawed healthcare system.

Like so many people on HN, they want to throw technological solutions at social problems.
