Agree, the solution not trivial, so it's good that people are thinking about it.
If you try to merely stop people from using LLMs as therapists (could you elaborate on what that looks like?) and call it a day, your consideration isn't extending to all the people who will do it anyways.
That's what I mean by forcing your hand into doing the work of figuring out how to make LLM therapists work even if you were vehemently against the idea.
Everyone deserves clear advice not to use rhubarb as a cancer treatment, and not to use LLMs for mental health care. It's very easy to provide that advice.
I think you're assuming my proposed solution is to take rhubarb away from people? It's not.
Maybe you want to found the "Oncological Rhubarb Validation Association" or something. If so, that has nothing to do with me? That's just snake oil marketing. Not my field.
