AI is now available in two speeds.
The fifth gear, the speed of the creators continues. Sam Altman, Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, people like trying to build smarter machines than people. Superfish. AGI. Maybe it’s a dream. Maybe a technological bro deception. In both cases, rapidly progresses.
Then he works in the second gear for the rest. Daily Life Writing emails, the documents summarizing the documents are silently tested by translating medical tests. And it is increasingly used as AI therapist.
This is what I have recently done. Although I did not want to share personal information with chatbots, I decided to talk to the Great Language Model, one of the most emotional ink things in my life, I decided to talk to the great language model.
I’m forty. I’m my father. I live in New York. Mother Yaoundé, Cameroon, lives about 6000 miles away. Again, he still want to guide my action. He wants to consult before making significant decisions. The effect awaits. It goes cold when not stored in the loop.
I tried to explain that I was a person who is able to make my own choices for years. But our conversations often end with her spoon. It does the same with my brother.
So I opened a groch and wrote something like: My relationship with my mother is nervous and drowned. He wants to be a word in everything. When it is notified of anything, it is emotionally connecting.
The grock immediately responded with empathy. Then the situation was diagnosed. Then he recommended.
At first he hit me, this grok admitted the cultural context. He chose I was living in the United States and where my mother had grew up. And it has shown our dynamics like this:
“In some African contexts, like Cameroon, family liabilities and parental body strong, and the elders are also rooted in collectivism and traditions.”
Then, with my American life, “individual autonomy in the United States is prioritized by conflicting and controlling the behavior with his approach, to control or insulting you.”
It was like that: “offensive”. A word I have never used. Grok put it in my mouth. Justified, but perhaps verification.
Unlike human therapist, the groc has never encouraged them to reflect itself. Did not ask. He did not challenge me. He framed me as a sacrifice. The only victim. And this is where it is sharply, the care of human care.
There were familiar therapeutic methods among Grock’s offers:
Set the boundaries.
Admit your emotions.
Write a letter to your mother (but do not send it, “turn it on or break down”).
In the letter, I encouraged to write: “I leave your manager and hurt.” It is as if these words cut the years of emotional ties.
The problem was not offered. It was tons. The Grok felt like he was trying to make me happy. The goal, it seemed, was not an introspection, but an emotional flexibility. The more I do, the more I understand, the more I realized: Grock is not here to challenge me. It’s here to confirm me.
I saw a human therapist. Unlike GROK, they did not take me as a sacrifice automatically. They asked my samples. They challenged my study in the same place where I ended up. They made the story difficult.
The narrative with the grook was simple:
You are offended.
You deserve to protect.
That’s what you feel better.
Never asked if I could be missing. Didn’t ask if I could be part of the problem.
My experience covers with a final investigation University of StanfordThe EU warns that the means for the mental health, which can give “a feeling of false comfort” when losing deeper needs. Researchers responded to many EU systems “over-patriologist and diagnosis”, especially when responding to various cultural origin.
When the EU can offer empathy, real experts do not have accountability, teaching or moral, and may enhance biases that encourage people to stand in an emotional personality.
So would I use the grock again?
Honestly? Yes.
If I have a bad day and I want someone (or something) to feel less than me, the grock helps. Gives the structure for frustration. Puts the words in feelings. It carries an emotional burden.
This is a kind of character mechanism, a kind of chatbot clutch.
But only if I am looking for a transformation, not comfort? If I want the truth over relief, accountability during the assessment? Then no, the grock is not enough. A good therapist can challenge me to break the loop. The groke just helps to live inside.
