> Are people using ChatGPT for therapy more vulnerable than people using it for medical or legal advice?
Probably. If you are in therapy because you’re feeling mentally unstable, by definition you’re not as capable of separating bad advice from good.
But your question is a false dichotomy, anyway. You shouldn’t be asking ChatGPT for either type of advice. Unless you enjoy giving yourself psychiatric disorders.

> From my experience talking about your problems to the unaccountable bullshit machine is not very different then the "real" therapy.
From the experience of the people (and their families) who used the machine and killed themselves, the difference is massive.
