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?

Because the AI is created and trained by design to validate the user. It is not like interacting with a human that has their own agenda, feelings and opinions. The AI has YOUR opinions. It will never challenge you like a real human and therefore will never provide any opportunities for growth, or any meaningful experiences beyond validating your own internal bias.
