A Very Simple Explanation:
What is a GPT, actually?
A GPT is not a robot, a therapist, or an oracle.
In this context, it’s best understood as a carefully trained conversational instrument — a way of holding multiple perspectives in play without any one of them taking over.
Think of it less like artificial intelligence and more like:
a very attentive note-taker
a pattern-spotter who doesn’t get defensive
a room that remembers what’s been said
It does not decide.
It does not diagnose.
It does not replace human judgment.
It helps us slow thinking down enough to hear what’s already there.
