Consulting with AI: Can a non-human AI help us navigate this world?

AI consultants are increasingly becoming the norm, with more and more people turning for help towards their services. What makes them so special? In this article, we have found three main reasons why an increasing number of people are using AI services. 

Number 3: AI provides us with a space to gather our thoughts.

By talking with an AI, we are able to bounce off ideas to better understand ourselves. We don't always need someone to reply. Often times, even just having someone listen to you is great relief. AI is easy to confide in because it accepts all of our feelings without invalidating them. Many people who use AI have said, "I didn't even notice how I truly felt until I chatted with the AI."

Number 2: Objective Advice

Because AI is not human, it is not influenced by any emotions, and thus it cannot be manipulated. As a result, AI becomes a source that provides us with objective advice. "All friends are subject to some degree of partiality, but AI is non-human and therefore unbiased in its opinions," a user reports. Even in complicated matters of love, the charm of AI lies in its ability to calmly dissect the situation and present clear, actionable steps.

Number 1: IMPARTIALITY AND CONFIDENTIALITY

The most cited reason for using AI is wanting to confess to someone things that cannot be told to loved ones, or those closest to us.  

In many cases, we struggle with delicate (and sometimes embarrassing issues) that we may not feel comfortable discussing with another person. Things such as a secret crush or negative emotions such as anxiety or jealousy - you can share all with an AI, without fearing they might judge you for it.  n this case, AI can become a trustworthy friend. Because everything you say to an AI is confidential, you can dig deep and discover your innermost feelings.
