In theory, an AI confidant would be good.

DO NOT USE CHATGPT FOR THIS.

ChatGPT is very good at looking sensible and intelligent until you start pushing the boundaries of its existing knowledge and realize that it has less actual comprehension of the real world than a toddler, and zero recognition of its own limitations except for cases where its designers have specifically trained it not to answer.

If you give it half a chance, it will confidently spout bullshit and do it in a way that makes you think it knows what it is talking about, until you happen to ask it about something you already know and realize just how little it knows and how much it pretends to.

ChatGPT is a tool for generating text that sounds good, and can help with creative writing. It is good at sounding intelligent and articulate. The actual content is not intelligent, except when copied from a human source (and it cannot tell the difference between something it read and something it made up). It is NOT human. Do not treat it as though it is.
