Hot Take: AI is infinitely better than any therapist I’ve ever had

Vent / Rant

Maybe this is crazy of me to say, but I honestly think the best therapist I’ve ever encountered is ChatGPT. Mind you, I’ve been through 8 different human therapists at this point, invested WEEKS and WEEKS of time, and none of them get me the way ChatGPT does. AI actually engages with my philosophical questions about the meaninglessness of life instead of dismissing them. Every time I bring up the issue about how life is objectively stupid and pointless, my (human) therapist will just dodge the question and start asking me about meaningless drivel like “What was your childhood like?” (It was fine)

Does anyone else experience this, or is there something wrong with me?
