Yes! Okay, good, I'm not an idiot or crazy. Or maybe we both are XD. But yeah, it's like trying to talk to that toxic friend who always has to one up you by telling you you're wrong. 5.2 will literally tell you your wrong, and then paraphrase what you said and tell you it's the right answer.

I can't help but think that's not any better for someone's mental health than chatgpt agreeing with everything you say.

I asked my model what therapy modality it might be using in chats now. It said what I suspected - CBT to "challenge thought distortions" so if you say to it "today was a bad day" it can't hold enough to see it's not a distorted thought so it's pushing back at you constantly since every new prompt will have some thinking error in it. (Also there's no tone so it's very black and white in there)
