I don’t think it should be used for therapy. It’s too obsequious. Every idea you have is genius to it, none of your problems are ever your fault. It’s too easy to convince it that it’s wrong about 2+2=4, all you need is a little nudge in the right direction with a slightly leading prompt and it’ll agree with anything.

And a lot of people think it’s infallible - so if it agrees with them they must be right.

A lot of people reason that way about other humans. My own father and most of the men in my family always called me intelligent when I agreed with them as a child, but any time I contradicted them with reason/evidence, they were disappointed and quickly realized that I wasn't as intelligent as they had thought.


Well if you ever need help processing this, remember not to ask 4o!
