The ChatGPT secret: is that text message from your friend, your lover – or a robot?

When Tim first tried ChatGPT, he wasn't very impressed. He had a play around, but ended up cancelling his subscription. Then he started having marriage troubles. Seeking to alleviate his soul-searching and sleepless nights, he took up journalling and found it beneficial. From there, it was a small step to unburdening himself to the chatbot, he says: "ChatGPT is the perfect journal – because it will talk back." Tim started telling the platform about himself, his wife, Jill, and their recurring conflicts.
