100% this. I've had success using it as a "micro-therapist" to get me unstuck in cycles of perfectionism and procrastination. You currently cannot get a therapist to parachute into your life at a moment's notice to talk with for 5-10 minutes. (Presumably only the ultra-wealthy might have concierge therapists, but this is out of reach for 99% of people.)
To keep the experience within healthy psychosocial bounds, I just keep in mind that I'm not talking with any kind of "real person", but rather the collective intelligence of my species.
At the end of some of these "micro-sessions", I even ask GPT to put the insights/advice into a little poem or haiku, which it does in a matter of seconds. It's a superhuman ability that no therapist can compete with.
Imagine how much more we can remember therapeutic insights/advice if they are put into rhyme or song form. ChatGPT therapy is a total game-changer.
