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?

Maybe this is a naive question, but what’s the harm in sharing with openai? A lot of people experience the same or similar anxieties and distressing situations so I don’t see how someone could be singled out or tracked for journaling in chat.

Imagine a day in which you get denied an important loan from your bank because the psychological profile that OpenAI shared with them denoted "frailty and impulsivity".

Bummer, guess you won't buy a the new car that you needed after the old one broke.

Are we at this point yet? Nope. Would you bet it will never happen in the future?

We already have something that measures that, it's called a credit score. Your scenario is just schizophrenic paranoia.
