A profound relational revolution is underway, not orchestrated by tech developers but driven by users themselves. Many of the 400 million weekly users of ChatGPT are seeking more than just assistance with emails or information on food safety; they are looking for emotional support.

“Therapy and companionship” have emerged as two of the most frequent applications for generative AI globally, according to the Harvard Business Review. This trend marks a significant, unplanned pivot in how people interact with technology.

    Like… yeah?

    Tried to open to a girlfriend about a sensitive topic - she got the ick.

    Tried to make an appointment with a psychiatrist - got a very hateful rejection because of my place of birth.

    Damn, even when I try to uplift a friend, I use phrases like ‘you got this before, you’ll get it now’.

    I don’t know how to be a man, mentally

      Getting rejection because of place of birth is worth getting that doctors license revoked, find out which body governs doctors in your location and file a complaint

        Haha, not every place is in the US. Hopefully, I won’t face this kind of treatment as I do not live in that shit hole of a country

      Become a rich jacked sociopath.

      That’s most manly thing you can do apparently.
