And actually, a couple of them have found their way to our practice.

And I'm curious, you know, what were they saying to ChatGPT that ChatGPT told them they need a human for?

It's just I'm sure anyone that's experimented with ChatGPT knows that it can be wrong quite often.

And we tend to believe it when it's telling us what we want to hear or it feels good.

Yeah, it's a good one.

Because when we hear what we want to hear, it feels good and we're inclined to believe it.

And if we don't get the response we want, we can just ask it to generate again.

And that's not actually beneficial for our mental or social health.

Yeah, I have a lot of empathy for Gen Z. I mean, it's no wonder that there are such high rates of social anxiety in that generation because they weren't set up to thrive.

It's great for like writing code.

It's great for...

Like, hey, I need you to say this in a different way.
