According to Shahzeen Shivdasani, a relationship expert in India and author of the book "Love, Lust & Lemons", more and more people are choosing AI as a "compatriot" to express their emotions, especially in love.
The wave of people coming to ChatGPT as a form of "emotional therapy" is increasing for very human reasons, according to hindustantimes.
Confessions are not afraid of judgment
Unlike friends or relatives, who sometimes force you to listen to the line "I told you", ChatGPT is not judgmental, not tired and does not need to make appointments.
You can ask the same problem hundreds of times and ChatGPT still patiently answers. That creates a safe space to live true to your emotions.
No pressure, no constraints
Many people feel pressured when receiving advice from others, because if they do not listen or follow it, they will be judged. As for ChatGPT, you have the right to choose to receive or ignore it without being bound by or hurting anyone. ChatGPT will listen without personal emotions interfering.
The possibility of in-depth feedback
ChatGPT not only gives you the answer, but also helps you ask yourself the question, "Why is this happening? , "Where was I wrong? , these are all questions that sometimes we are afraid to ask the real person.
By analyzing emotions from what you say, this AI helps you see clearly what you may be missing.
No partiality and no past
Unlike friends who carry personal prejudices, old memories or their own feelings for you, ChatGPT is a white paper page. The advice comes from data and reason, not distorted by emotions, helping users have a more objective view.
Easy to access and... easy to addict
When emotional worries come at midnight, you can't call anyone. But you can text ChatGPT. Easy to access, fast, no need for long-term explanations, and this makes finding AI a habit.
But can AI replace humans?
While ChatGPT is as useful as an emotional buoy, Shivdasani emphasizes, "It's just an algorithm."
Human connections such as understanding eyes, laughter in the thunderstorms, and a hug without words will still be the only thing that technology cannot replace.
ChatGPT could be a mirror reflecting what we know. But no matter how useful it is, it cannot replace the real relationships that we need to maintain in real life.
