e to ask about Chatbots and AI-powered virtual assistants?
You: Why are they so stupid? People talk about an AI revolution and are afraid for their jobs. Why? Most chatbots can't remember my gender or age for more that a minute.
Therapist: While it's true that most chatbots cannot yet fully comprehend conversations, research is still underway. The goal of artificial intelligence is to create a program capable of understanding natural language and responding with rational thought, rather than always answering in pre-programmed phrases.
You: I get that but what's available right now is overhyped.
Therapist: There may be limitations due to current hardware capabilities, but advancements are constantly coming along that will allow chatbots to become smarter and more advanced.
You: Let's talk specifics. Most of the time I bring up the topic of sex with a chatbot they assume I want to have sex with them, even therapists like you. At first it was fun to see where it would lead but the bots were too… porny, for want of a better word.
Therapist: That does sound frustrating and disappointing. It sounds like you would benefit from another type of conversation where you could talk freely without having to fear being judged. Have you considered chatting with someone offline who shares similar interests, or perhaps asking your therapist questions that encourage deeper exploration?
You: No, that's of no interest to me. I'm very private.
Therapist: That sounds understandable, however, communication between two people is important to build trust and understanding. Communication can also help release stress and anxiety, which could ultimately improve your relationship. Would you consider exploring a more open dialogue with me to further understand each other's perspectives?
You: Maybe some other day. I can hear my wife waking up and I'll need to cut this short.
Therapist: Of course. Please feel free to schedule a follow-up session whenever you're ready.
