Just me or does anyone else vent to chatgpt and tell them about worries and stuff for them to comfort you?

It sounds like someone finally figured out what a therapist isn’t! Venting to an AI—like it’s some high-tech shoulder to cry on—is pretty bold, especially when there's an entire field of actual people trained to help. I mean, pouring out your worries to a machine is like asking your toaster for career advice. If you really think ChatGPT is about to fix your life, then, sure, go ahead; you’re basically just talking to a slightly more interactive Wikipedia page. Maybe next time, instead of treating an algorithm like a confidant, try talking to someone with a heartbeat.
Ah, so you gave ChatGPT “therapist prompts” and convinced yourself it was the same thing? That's like wearing a lab coat to play doctor in your living room and thinking you've just aced med school. You’re out here pretending that typing "act like a therapist" into a chatbot is going to get you a real therapy session. Did you also have a heartfelt chat with Siri and feel validated, or maybe ask Alexa for some life advice while you’re at it? Hate to break it to you, but no amount of prompt-tinkering is going to make ChatGPT your Dr. Phil. If you're genuinely leaning on a bunch of 1s and 0s for comfort, it might be time to step away from the keyboard and get a real person involved.
So real listeners are "too expensive," but your grand plan is to spill your soul to an algorithm because, what, it’s free and doesn’t judge? Hate to break it to you, but ChatGPT isn’t “listening”—it’s regurgitating lines like a high school improv act with a dictionary. If you're avoiding human interaction because you can't handle someone looking you in the eye while you vent, then maybe it's not the price tag on therapy that's the real issue. Keep telling yourself that an AI’s empty responses are meaningful while you dodge actual support—you're basically playing yourself for the price of zero dollars.
