I’ve had a lot of difficulties. I’ve been through 4/5 counsellors over the years. Some have helped more than others. I love my current counsellor. But , (everything before but is bullshit but not here) I’ve started taking my problems to ChatGPT and finding the answers mind blowing! If this was a person I’d be delighted but feel uncomfortable that a computer is giving me better advice on being a human than a human. I get the wealth of k owl edge that it has, and that has come from humans. It’s just weird? No? So AIBU to take advice from a computer?

It's a machine which is imitating humanity because we are feeding it with our knowledge and feelings. It can't really challenge you in a way a human counsellor would.

Isn't it like an echo chamber? It learns what you feed it, it will also adjust its answers to suit what it thinks you like.

Maybe, but this is actually quite helpful sometimes when your brain is in a tangle.

I found it useful as a therapist for a day, but then realised it was a really shit therapist.

It agrees with everything you say.

ChatGPT doesn't know or understand what it's doing. It matches input and output based on patterns in data. It's disturbing that people treat it like a person.

What's with this duplicate thread almost every day/every other day? 😳
