This is major. You are putting your professional reputation, your Ph.D., and the University of Texas in the spotlight with one of the builders you write about and admire. I put my name on your waiting list and it's worth the curious exploration to see the results of your collaboration. I work with many professionals interested in (and clinical practices) the human mind. None of them are looking at ChatGPT the way you are.

I imagine a kind of living diary or GPT diary that can be coupled to this psychological bot. A digital diary with the traditional simple writing of anything from one's day. Thoughts about work, relationships, things in the news, new ideas about some project, invention, etc. Then having GPT analyze it for psychological content. Thought it could expand beyond that. "Summarize all my thoughts on project x. Do you have an insights on my project x."

"Psychologically, what can you gather and summarize from my diary entries over the past month?"

As someone who works in the EHR space, I love your perspective and openness to AI serving as extension of clinicians' abilities, vs. seeing it as a threat to their livelihood. There's no question in my mind that the next generation of software that aims to help clinicians run a more effective practice will benefit greatly from automation across all of their workflows. I'd love to pick your brain on how to best frame things and onboard clinicians to this new way of working.

I think this article did more promoting of you than it did of Chat GPT, for me. Ive been reading your stuff for a while, Gena, and this article and the chat with Chat GPT was a kind of summary and essentialisation of what you do. I am a paid subscriber, so I have access to the Slack channel. I feel invigorated to post there now. Thank you!

Great article. I signed up for the class. I just came across your work yesterday in the book Philosophical Health. Loved your chapter of the book on Self-Honesty. PS- I apologize for spelling your name Gina instead of Gena on the form.

Awesome story! I did a similar analysis. First I fed a local chatbot my diary, and then I used its psychological analysis of my diary to train ChatGPT. Pretty useful for self reflection. https://www.transformingmed.tech/p/decoding-happiness-an-ai-driven-experiment

Reading about your quest is fascinating. I'm on a similar quest but from a slightly different perspective: I develop ultra-realistic AI clients for our counselors to practice with. I'd love to get in touch and discuss this further. I left a message on your site.
