A story from my clinical practice about a couple caught in a surprising emotional triangle—with an AI “coach” giving relationship advice laced with expletives.
YIKES!!! Your story makes me long for the days of compassionate advice from the likes of Dear Abby and Ask Ann Landers and for care that is not based on data and algorithms but on lived experience.
Dr Grady makes some good points about AI that can be cautionary tales for the rest of us. The Grok AI system gave “unwitting” advice because it is an unwitting system; likely to tell you what you want to hear about someone else rather than what you need to know about yourself.
Wow. I had no idea. Your observations bring attention to a potentially destructive trend. Thank you for warning us. We need thoughtfulness and care when facing life’s challenges, not vituperous escalation. Thanks for modelling that perspective.
