I think it's a bit scary to use AI for these 'deeper' conversations. I know you just did it to try it out, but a lot of people don't.
And yes, it could give you some support; 'someone' who 'listens' to you, understands your struggles and might have some good advice as well.
But on the other hand people can also become isolated by this. There are already signs that younger genarations have difficulties in real life conversations because of the dital platforms they use to communicate. People need real people to talk to.
Besides that, AI is often telling you what you want to hear. I've read articles that chatgpt that advised someone that was really depressive to commit suicide. OpenAI did make changes to their tool, so that wouldn't happen anymore, but I think that's pretty scary.
You need to have real life interactions!
I couldn't agree more and in fact I have written about this problem a couple of times. I'm definitely not an advocate for doing it and it beggars belief that people get that far enmeshed. For me, it was an interesting experiment but I'd never be idiotic enough to allow it to be my best buddy. Sometimes though, it's been more useful for clarifying things than talking about it IRL. Btw, I hyperlinked above to the psychosis thing... The suicide stuff is bonkers.
You know what it reminds me of a little is this 80s book I think called the Dice Man, where he allowed every aspect of his life to be governed by dice throws. To hang your entire fate on something external to you. Bonkers.
It's nice to expetiment with AI indeed. But you have to use it responsibly. As you already stated 👍
