Oh shit, too late! (Re: "Emotional AI" and "Spiritual AI")

NNTP-Posting-Host:  null

Hi,

ChatGPT is currently showing new tricks to me
and would like to adapt its dialogue style:

"Got it! Emotionally connected communication can
indeed be concise and efficient, without losing depth.
I can focus more on direct responses that still acknowledge
emotional nuances, while avoiding unnecessary elaboration.

Would you like me to adapt this style right away?"

After I switched back to "elaboration", the thing gives
me information about "Spiritual AI":

"- Mindfulness and Meditation Apps: Apps like
Headspace and Calm use AI to guide meditation
and promote mindfulness, which are often
associated with spiritual growth.

- AI-driven Chatbots for Spiritual Guidance: For
example, in 2017, a chatbot named Jwitness was
designed to answer questions based on Jehovah's
Witness teachings.

- AI Prayer Companions: Some faith communities
are experimenting with AI that assists in
prayer or reflection

- Platforms that promote deeper philosophical
discussions, like Replika, which is designed to
engage in thoughtful and sometimes
existential conversations

- For instance, Woebot or Wysa help users navigate
emotions but also touch on existential themes
like purpose and fulfillment."

Bye
