Obligatory 'in good faith' but when you talk about mental diagnoses not being legitimate - do you mean universally? Like, brains are organs and things can go wrong in ways that can be identified and dealt with, and families can have longstanding histories of these things. Is your point that these just aren't identifiable in distinct groups/'diagnosis'? am I using a different idea of what a diagnosis is? Is it just 'yeah brain conditions exist but the field is so fucked 50% of them are bullshit'?
it is more the latter than anything else. obviously some neurological conditions are 'real', in that they are terms that identify discrete and consistently diagnosable conditions -- e.g. epilepsy and TBIs. when i made that post i was talking about psychiatric diagnoses specifically, which despite using a similar language to that of medical diagnostics are basically just made up as hell. like, the DSM is just made up as all hell. the diagnoses in it (and, indeed, the processes provided for making those diagnoses) are not rigorous or consistent.
sure, some of those diagnoses can be useful for treatment and understanding of the conditions in question under some circumstances. but the idea that psychiatry is, like, 'a biological medicine of the brain', while flattering to psychiatrists, is basically totally disconnected from the realities of psychiatric research and practice. for the most part, psychiatry is not concerned with 'brain conditions' but instead with the categorization and pathologization of behaviour.

raptors and huge seabirds aren't even birds to me they're just like. dragons idk. it's like on a factual rational level i know that's a bird but on an emotional level it's a dinosaur that flies and is basically a dragon. it's not about behavior or diet yk a shrike is a bird but that hawk is a dragon, an albatross is another kind of dragon, and the owl i kept seeing this summer was some kind of creature we don't have names for in modern english

My biggest gripe with anti-ai discourse is all the solutions seem to work on the assumption that all AI is just for GPT and art-generation. If we seriously requires AI models to get permission from every source then that would make it effectively impossible for all the researchers who are doing non-profitable shit like, say, medical research or language studies to use the technology. I'm very confident these people don't know essentially every translation tool these days uses LLM.
innit!
