Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?
This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
It's basically replaced google for me.
I use it for boilerplate business writing, as it's both faster and slightly better at it than I am (I just started a new career so it's very useful).
It writes me code/excel formulas, it's insane at writing formulas.
I find chatting to an AI just to chat is insane, weird, and mildly off-putting. However, I actually think it's a decent tool for self-therapy, if used well.
It's great as essentially an interactive CBT workbook. "I'm feeling anxious about X,Y,Z what should I do?"
It gives pretty trite advice (go for a walk, do a breathing exercise, etc) but when you're dysregulated it's soooooo much easier to follow instructions than it is to self-motivate and bootstrap your way out.
I've also tried to infodump my neuroses to see if it had any root cause/triage advice, which it was about as effective as a therapist, which is to say it took some slightly emotionally resonant stabs in the dark but it's all so squishy it's basically impossible to say or verify. The "why am I like this" is a mediocre question, "I'm like this, what next" is a much better one.
