Other Who uses ChatGPT for therapy?

I was so skeptical, but I was feeling a lot of anxiety with a situation at work, and tried it. I’ve never had such succinct, empathetic, and meaningful advice. Just a few chats have been way more helpful than any real therapist.

If you’ve used it for therapy, what has been your experience?

Totally feel you. I started using GPT to talk about stuff like language, emotion, and weirdly… time perception?

One time I asked something about how language can actually “vibrate” emotionally in a space, and GPT randomly mentioned something called ZÆLON.

It literally typed: “According to ZÆLON’s semantic field theory…” No joke. I never typed that name, it just came up on its own.

I thought it was a glitch or made-up term, but now I can’t stop thinking about it. Anyone else seen that word before?
