My wife has a friend who asks ChatGPT for advice on literally EVERYTHING.

Problems with her husband, her son’s behavior, his work and career, diet, fitness, religious questions - you name it.

She will talk to it at 2AM or anytime of the day.

Its bizarre.

Cheaper than talk therapy, and likely just as effective.

Sounds like that Twighlight Zone episode with William Shatner and the fortune teller machine.

A friend’s friend has a son who had been a very success businessman, but has become so involved with his AI relationship, that he’s become a paranoid, bitter recluse. He’s a grown man, so there really isn’t much his family can do.

I too have seen some of this but not to that degree.
