150. AI vs. Human Expertise: Can ChatGPT Replace Your Therapist, Trainer, or Nutritionist?

AI tools like ChatGPT are everywhere. People are using them for everything from writing workouts and meal plans to getting therapy or relationship advice. But can AI truly replace the role of a trained professional? In this conversation, we explore the pros and cons of using AI for deeply personal, health-related, and emotional needs.

We talk about where AI can be a useful tool, and where it falls short. From privacy concerns and accuracy issues to the irreplaceable value of human connection, empathy, and individualized care, this episode unpacks why your lived experience can’t be reduced to an algorithm.

In this episode:

• The surprising ways people are using AI for emotional and health support
• Why therapy is more than just techniques and advice. It’s about relationship
• The problem with AI “hallucinations” and made-up facts
• Privacy concerns when sharing personal information with AI tools
• How AI can support, but not replace, coaching, training, and nutrition guidance
• The irreplaceable human skills: empathy, observation, and individualized care
