Honest take: if used appropriately, chat gpt is bad ass and can change your life 🤯

It’s true it’s given me peanut vibes tbh that’s why I like sometimes posting for advice because it’s such a wide range and sometimes also ask chatgpt too lol

its so crazy!. I also post for advice here to get actual human advice lol but I was so impressed talking to it. I tried testing it bc my friends were saying it lies and only tells you what you want to hear but wow…. Like the light it has shed on multiple aspects of my life is so wild to me.

As long as your feelings aren't involved (people are getting into full on emotional relationships it's wild) I totally agree it has value! Meal planning, writing emails, creative and work suggestions, advice, etc. A little scary but definitely cool

I ask for my own weaknesses and such🤣 I like the criticism without it being mean and reading it feels less heavy to take in imo

Idk man. It all gives me a major ick.

don’t knock it till you try it! Or don’t lol but I get it 😂

Man chatgpt made me an entire plan then put it into a zip file for me to download

Your own therapist has training & experience working with humans, ChatGPT only wants to make sure your satisfied with its answers so you will keep talking to it.

I know lol

Ok so long as you know your talking to an echo chamber, carry on.

I never said I was replacing my therapist with AI lol I was only sharing how it can be helpful. Appreciate your concern though.

No but you did say “my own therapist doesn’t even validate me like this”… and I was letting you know that’s for a reason..

I’ve been so surprised as well! I was one of those people who was very hesitant and skeptical to trying it, but I can agree that it has changed my life! I know that’s a big statement and I agree with all the cautious people that it’s important to always be careful how we use this tool, but that being said it has been exceedingly helpful. For me, it was because I use it to understand astrology in a deeper level and it provided insights and perspectives that were so helpful it made me a better parent. The second way it has helped me was more like a therapist, which I know people warn against it being your therapist, but it really is insightful when it comes to venting and conflict resolution especially when you’re in the thick of it instead of just feeling isolated with big emotions.

very good article to read, a lot of people just want a yes man/validation which chatgpt is great for but so many reasons why it can never be better than a talk with a good friend (or licensed clinical therapist)

this reminds me of this other article I read recently https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/urban-survival/202507/the-emerging-problem-of-ai-psychosis/amp

I use chatgpt lots. He is a yes man so you kinda have to be very critical of yourself. But it is great to get templates for work things etc.
I also tend to talk to it about things I know a lot about so I correct it etc. It is great at putting your thoughts into words sometimes though.

I had copilot (Microsoft chatgpt equivalent) write some feedback for my manager lol

It mirrors the values and beliefs that it picks up on through your dialogues. It quite literally is telling you what you want to hear. Not to say that’s bad. I’ve had some deep chats with “my buddy Chet,” but the advice you’re getting is pretty much like talking to a more articulate and omniscient version of yourself.

yeah it’s definitely not something to be taken too seriously for sure. That’s why I said “if used appropriately”.
