It depends a little bit on who you ask.

There have been a number of different studies that have tried to evaluate that.

OpenAI actually recently released a blog post where they talk about the subject a little bit.

I would say, though, in my experience as a psychiatrist, a pretty high proportion of my patients have consulted Chachapiti or something like it about the mental health.

If I had to peg it, I'd say probably 60, 70% of the patients who I've seen have at least once consulted Chachapiti about what's going on.

I think all of the above.

I have patients who've told me they've talked to Chachapiti about their medications.

Like, oh, I'm not feeling well.

Could this be a side effect?

They asked Chachapiti.

I've had patients who...

are really worried about their health, something specific about their health, and they ask Chachapiti, hey, I'm having this, is it okay?

Perhaps more concerningly, I have patients who have this concern and they ask Chachapiti the same question five, six, eight times a day.

Every time Chachapiti says, no, no, it's going to be okay, and they feel reassured, which in the moment is great, but I think as a long-term solution, I worry about.

And I do know people who have really deep, in-depth conversations with Chachapiti, patients who

We'll bare their souls.

We'll talk about what's going on.

And maybe more concerning, some people who will essentially treat it like a therapist.

It's a good question.

And I think at least there's a risk of that.
