Anyone using LLMs as coach or therapist?

Not for journaling or therapy, but almost every time I draft something in German, I ask a model to "rate my German" so that I keep improving.

Before chat models, I did something similar with Google Translate, but GT doesn't tell me why things should be different; and worse, GT tends to auto-correct typos, leading to stuff like this: https://translate.google.com/?sl=de&tl=en&text=Schweinwerfer...

("Schweinwerfer", spelled like that, would actually mean "pig thrower": Schein (shine) vs Schwein (pig))

Not exactly on purpose, but I used Grok for some business planning, and now it sometimes loops that into other answers, suggesting how something else I asked about could overlap with the business project, or just asking at the end, "So, would you like to work on [other project] some more?" It's a little reminder that I wanted to get back to that project, which doesn't hurt since I tend to procrastinate or get distracted and forget about projects.

I think to be a real "coach" they'd have to be able to push you proactively. You can script that kind of thing, but if you're getting that done, maybe you don't need much pushing.

A friend is using ChatGPT as a kink and poly aware pseudo therapist, keeping in mind the limitations of the system, considering the challenge of finding a human version tuned for such a lifestyle.
