[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bad idea. A therapist will challenge you. Chat GPT is programmed to align with your inputs and mirror you so you feel understood.

I think for run of the mill stuff if the person had common sense, then it’s fine as a way to find out what you yourself think. If you’re having mental health issues and it amplifies your thought distortions, it could make things worse.[/quote]

As someone who has never received therapy, I find it surprising that a human therapist will really challenge you. 
I had assumed that therapists would be reluctant to push back too much for fear of losing a client?  Isn’t there a financial incentive for therapists to placate their clients? [/quote]

Quality varies, like with anything else. The best therapist I've ever had has challenged me the most. She has been there through grief and other stuff and been supportive but she's also said a couple of things that felt like a gut punch in the moment.  I've left our appts PISSED, or upset on occasion. But I respect her a ton and when I sit with what she's said  it's always made sense.

I've played around with AI as therapist and I think it's ridiculous that people take it seriously. It just spits back variations of what you ask about, usually in a nice and flattering way. THAT is why people like it. My human therapist will say I'm full of sh*t. AI will tell me why I'm right about something. [/quote]
