Men are turning to AI for mental health support, finding digital confidants where traditional therapy falls short.

A profound relational revolution is underway, not orchestrated by tech developers but driven by users themselves. Many of the 400 million weekly users of ChatGPT are seeking more than just assistance with emails or information on food safety; they are looking for emotional support.

“Therapy and companionship” have emerged as two of the most frequent applications for generative AI globally, according to the Harvard Business Review. This trend marks a significant, unplanned pivot in how people interact with technology.

    The amount of sexism in this comment section is…unnerving. Does a community exist for male identifying people to talk and share their troubles in a non hostile space? If it doesn’t I’ll make one.

    No. Because if it it did it would be shut down as being hostile and offensive to women and a space for proto-rapists to hang out.

    Probably the closest space any guy could get is AA or NA meetings.
