That is true. However, 2 things have to be considered here:

LLMs are easily manipulatable. So if the LLM says some advice, the person can easily spin it in a way where the LLM believes that its own advice doesn't apply even when it does. And admitting problems in oneself exist is harder in some people.
LLMs can talk like a person, but will miss out on details about the other, making their advice rather boilerplate, which can be very hit or miss.

In contrast, people can overcome both hindrances. They can either try to make the other realize the issues they are denying are going on, or coerce the other to still try the advice. Generally, our gift of reading little aspects of how the other talks/behaves helps us communicate with the other a lot more than we think.
