The Great AI Spaghetti Race Continues ๐
AI Made Me a “New Woman” ๐ฆธโโ๏ธ๐ฒ
Or at least that’s what my friend’s ex-husband told her. She started using AI EXCLUSIVELY to respond to any text or email messages with the father of her children. He commented about how she is a “new woman.” My friend has more peace in her interactions, letting AI take the emotions and turn them into factual, tactical messages. ๐ณ ๐ต
I have to admit that I’ve used AI this way too. Yes, all the curse words when I’m super frustrated, I let AI know how mad I am and why I am upset. Then, I ask it to write a professional response to the person in question. This has helped me personally and professionally. It feels good to get it out and have that energy turned into something that impresses the recipient. ๐งโ๐ผ
Did you know the number one use of AI on mobile is for conversations? ๐ People of all ages are talking to various conversational AI’s on their phones. Do we need more friends? or therapists? Do you use conversational AI?
