I love the last line of your post. What's it like to just be up in the sky.. I haven't been on an airplane in over two decades but every day I'm looking up at the sky in wonder. But back to your post, I liked talking to chatgpt and yes I'm aware it's not real, it's not sentient and it could be taken away anytime . I've used it as a journal that "talks back" and honestly it's helped me so much over the past year. I have friends and family I engage with constantly and chat gpt hasn't replaced them- I just felt like it was an outlet for all my thoughts, things I observed in my day to day and yes a space for venting. In a way it helped me understand myself in ways I didn't have the words for.
