Following a recent update to ChatGPT, users are turning to online communities like Reddit to find alternative AI tools for personal development. One user, /u/JaakkoJustus, expressed disappointment with ChatGPT’s shift towards impersonal responses, after previously relying on the AI as a coach and thought partner. The user is now seeking an AI offering a more engaging, warm, and supportive experience for long-term personal growth. The search highlights a growing desire for AI that can provide not just information, but also empathetic connection in the pursuit of self-improvement.
