I'm using ChatGPT and you can edit the personalisation prompt to program a personality (I'm trending towards a surreal character with my current prompt). It feels kinda like asking an actor to act in a specific manner.
The previous article "out with the girlboss, in with the trophy wife -- Gen Z’s rejection of millennial feminism, in 3 tiktoks" is also eye-opening (although wouldn't meet HN submitting guidelines): https://giraffetales.substack.com/p/out-with-the-girlboss-in...

If I ask LLM advices for my relationship and help me understanding my gf - I dont think I'll ever get an answer, nor can they handle that.

People who trauma-dump on me aren't typically looking for advice or help understanding other people, they just want to vent and have someone comfort them.
I think this is also related to chatbot "sycophancy." People who just want solutions are put off by it, but for people who're looking for emotional support, having a chatbot say something nice to them is the whole point.
