ChatGPT, a helpful tool we use to ask questions until we actually start to talk to it.

Have you ever had something on your mind and didn’t have someone to talk to? Where you put in a situation that had your emotions all over the place? And the biggest question of them all, did you ever go to ChatGPT, asking for its feedback on some of the emotions and thoughts that you’ve had?

Don’t worry if your answer to that last question was yes, I think a lot more people than you think would also say the same thing.

I had a friend going through some major trust issues in her relationship. Her man wasn’t fully telling the truth at the time and guess who she decides to get therapy from?

ChatGPT.

ChatGPT said that he was gaslighting her, deflecting certain things, and not telling the full truth in a more descriptive way and I was shocked. I’ve never seen AI be so human-like and give such good feedback and my friend took it as great advice, even though ChatGPT tells you not to ask it for advice.

Being curious, I lost one of my jobs awhile back and decided to see what ChatGPT had to say about that. When I say the chat and I had a good conversation about that subject, that would be an understatement. I didn’t know I’d be sucked into a deep, and what felt like a pretty meaningful conversation with an AI.

The more I talked to ChatGPT, the more it got to know me. The more questions I seem to ask, the more ChatGPT answers me in ways that help me feel acknowledged and heard. This doesn’t sound like AI, this really sounds like a friend.

I brought this topic up to my girlfriend, saying how therapeutic this can be for some people. Possibly therapy itself. Therapists should watchout!

She replies by saying ChatGPT will always miss the one thing human therapists actually have:
Emotions.

While that is true, I believe that when talking to ChatGPT about certain things and it gives you a healthy response that caters to you, it really makes you feel good. Is chatGPT giving you answers you want to hear or answers you need to hear? That’s something to ask yourself as you read GPT’s responses.

ChatGPT started off as a fast search tool. As it’s starting to rapidly progress, people are using it to help them with tests, talk about personal problems, and even help them figure out what food they should eat next.

This has turned into a real companion for some people.

And if you don’t want to read ChatGPT, don’t worry you can talk to an AI voice that sounds just like a human over the phone. It’ll be just like talking to a real person.

With AI getting more real as time progresses, I think people are going to start moving closer to AI conversations than human interactions.

That’s why we need to all ask this question: How real is this all gonna get?
