A young man asks a chatbot what he is feeling and receives a convincing description.

I propose to treat it as a linguistic hypothesis to be compared with experience, not as direct access to one's inner state. In the example, some words help and others do not match.

The system does not know the full context and does not carry out a clinical evaluation. If conversation becomes the only place to listen, it can also be helpful to look for a competent and reliable human relationship.
