Dan Martell - ChatGPT as a therapist

00:00:00.000 I use ChatGPT to connect with my kids all the time.

00:00:02.760 The other day I was driving to a weekend event

00:00:04.760 with one of my kids and I literally chatted with AI

00:00:07.680 and asked it, give me five questions

00:00:09.600 that I can ask my kid over the next hour drive

00:00:11.840 to just like have a deeper connection with them.

00:00:14.060 My prompt was simple.

00:00:15.080 I'm a 45 year old dad, I've got two kids, 12 and 13,

00:00:18.220 I'm driving for the next hour, I wanna be a better dad.

00:00:21.040 The first one, in an alternate universe

00:00:22.940 where kids make the rules,

00:00:24.260 what are three rules you'd wanna make?

00:00:26.060 My kid goes, I think kids should be able to drive cars.

00:00:28.400 So now that we travel, if there's a chance to go rent some dune buggies, we're doing it.

00:00:32.360 The other one was the dad decoder.

00:00:34.320 If there was a manual called how to be the best dad for Max,

00:00:37.940 what would be the three things published on the first page of it?

00:00:40.840 That was really special.

00:00:42.320 His first one was he has fun every day.

00:00:44.960 That just means that he doesn't feel like he's having fun every day.

00:00:47.620 You know, and I just think like those questions are just so powerful.

00:00:50.960 I'm pretty serious, bro.

00:00:52.080 I don't know how to have fun sometimes.

00:00:53.880 He literally said, that's the funnest conversation we've ever had.

00:00:57.180 Pretty powerful stuff.

00:00:58.400 Thank you.
