This is exactly right. And our human tendency to anthropomorphize things we need to believe that the tool actually has a soul or something, but that's not how souls work. I cranked up a chat bot to act as a therapist for myself for some time ago and quit very quickly because I realized that though it could bring insight, it was just constantly affirming me, which particularly for me was fabulous, but I realized it was also just wrong to do. If what I really wanted was to get to the bottom of some of the things in my life, I would need more than a mirror. Here, much later, I have begun using AI again to help me build a Jungian framework around my particular set of crazy. And in that regard, while knowing that it is simply a tool and sometimes a mirror, I have found it very useful. It's definitely not human though.
