So far, there have been two interesting uses I’ve seen for chat gpt.
One is I’ve used it to help me write regular expressions in the very rare time I need to for my job.
The other is kind of cool but also kind of troubling in a way. But I’ve come across a couple of therapy style chat bots that are essentially just reading off a list of “here’s what to do for XYZ”
I’ve tested them a bit, and I’ve found I’m 1) concerned who gets access to the information shared. 2) If/when these kinds of bots will be used to manipulate people in a negative way. 3)The possibility of a bot replying in a bad way that could make an issue worse for someone
Overall, I like the idea of them. I find it’s hard to process information if it’s coming directly from myself, or accept compassion from myself. So funny enough, these chat bots actually work really well in that respect.
In some cases, I’ve had better discussions than I have had with actual therapists, which is funny but also sad.
So while there’s some troubling possibilities, I think there’s a lot of positives that I’ve seen from my time with it.
