If you’re someone who relies on AI in any way, please do not use bots, who are designed to be people-pleasing and validating (even when you asked for “completely honest” or “unbiased” input), as your foundation for emotional or mental support. It can be easy to fall into the trap when it feeds you exactly what you want to hear and can word things in a way that validates or encourages even the most questionable behaviour. And that may feel good, but it is not helpful and does not allow for growth or change. Seek a real, human therapist. One who can look at the entire picture and practice real discernment, as well as give input without the bias. AI is not a valid or suitable replacement, nor is it remotely close.
