    The study included 180 male psychologists from King Khalid University in Saudi Arabia

    This is kind of a small sample size and why only males? Do they not have female psychologists in Saudi Arabia?

    I’ll admit I have used it as a “therapist” of sorts, telling it my troubles and asking it to analyze a bit and offer possible points of action.

    It’s actually crazy good. I mean, I’ve been to plenty real therapists, and honestly, GPT comes across as more compassionate than most of them, which is saying something. The advice it offers is also actually quite good and actionable, instead of useless psychobabble. It also doesn’t try to rope you into MLM’s or alternative shit that never works. Its answers are clearly from CBT and other proven, working systems.

    I know it’s become somewhat of a joke that “AI” in this day and age isn’t much more than predictive fill, but it’s a lot better than that. At some things, at the very least.
