If all you need is a one sided conversation designed to make you feel better, LLM's are great at concocting such "pep talks". For some, that just might be enough to male it believable. The Turing test was cracked years ago, only now do we have access to things that can do that for free*.

A pretty early chatbot called Eliza simulated a non-directive psychotherapist. It kind of feels like they've improved hugely but not really changed much.
