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.

    The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.

    No. Because if it it did it would be shut down as being hostile and offensive to women and a space for proto-rapists to hang out.

    Probably the closest space any guy could get is AA or NA meetings.

          that’s what the manosphere is dude.

          and i bet you don’t like that either. right?

          because that’s what you get when everyone shuns men. these men go to other men who accept them, and well you get the results we are getting. the manosphere is the only place many people can find any acceptance or advice.

            Well if you give up before you start just because the existing options are shitty then that makes you part of the problem, doesn’t it?

              dude, you are the problem.

              that’s what you refuse to acknowledge. the problem is people like you, claiming that it’s not your problem, and those awful men looking for help and advice should just ‘go away’. because they upset you.

              this is precisely how rich people feel about the homeless. ‘just go away, we don’t like you, but we refuse to help you and your very existence is an offensive to us.’

                Where is he saying it’s not his problem? He’s literally doing the exact opposite and making it his problem.
