People are asking ChatGPT for tough love to motivate them to be productive. Here's what a clinical psychologist says about the tactic.
One of my close friends really loves ChatGPT and uses it all the time. Typically she's asking the AI chatbot questions like "Should I buy this skirt or this dress, and which one am I likely to wear more often?" She even used it to help me navigate a difficult conversation.
"Tell me something that will destroy me so much that it will make me go to the gym," someone asked ChatGPT, according to a, a licensed clinical psychologist, about if this tough love can actually help you achieve your goals, and if via chatbot is a healthy way to receive advice.When asking our loved ones for advice, "sometimes a direct message could get a little bit lost when concerned about how it will be received," Burrets says.
"Some people benefit from an approach that is more considerate, more empathic, and they're more primed to change and feel supported to change with a kinder approach," Burrets says. If someone wants to lose weight, for example, and are meeting their fitness goals but also feeling strong negative emotions like depression and depletion, "then those behavioral changes, even though they might look like the desired outcome, are not necessarily aligned with the umbrella goals that a person has, which are to be healthier, to feel better."
