I've found ChatGPT more helpful than any human therapist. I think that says more about human therapists than it does about AI though.

It does a good job at the role of "friend that never gets tired of listening to you", because it's programmed that way. Which is kind of sad, I suppose. But I'd rather not burden my human friends with that stuff.

(On a peculiar note, I really hope it isn't sentient! I wouldn't feel so comfortable "wasting its time" or asking stupid questions if it was!)

With respect, I think it says much more about the person receiving the care than does therapists or AI.
