Could chatbots help you become a better listener, and thus, better at relationships?

WSJ thoughts

Excerpt: "Large language models (LLMs) are doing a better job than humans at making people feel seen and heard.

This phenomenon, which we can call LLMpathy, is both stunning and controversial. Some experts argue that because computers are incapable of emotion, they can’t possibly care for people, a fundamental requirement of true empathy."

....But beyond these concerns and complaints, chatbot confidants might offer something more practical. If they are beating us at compassion, shouldn’t we try to learn what they are doing right? Can computers actually help strengthen human relationships?"
