What are you quoting? I don't see the sentence "Luckily, LLMs significantly reduce the effort/cost of therapy experiments," in the OP.
I like how the author says that they only started a few weeks ago and (contrary to the title) find it good, actually, but has already amassed the requisite expertise to advise other people not to seek out therapy from human beings if they don’t get the result they want from a chat bot.
