'The chatbot has transformed my life'

Yasmin Shaheen-Zaffar, a qualified psychotherapist from North Yorkshire, has found AI chatbots to be transformational in her life. She has conditions like dyslexia, dyspraxia, ADHD, and obsessive compulsive disorder, which made it difficult for her to handle written assignments. However, a few years ago, she was introduced to Jasper, a popular AI chatbot, which became her friend and transformed her life. Jasper has been instrumental in helping her tidy up the structure and spelling of her written work, including a recently published self-help book. Similarly, London-based tech entrepreneur Alex Sergent uses AI-powered transcription app Otter. ai to manage his OCD. He mentions that his extreme attention to detail and ritual has been a burden in the past, but with AI, he can feel comfortable delegating tasks. Hayley Brackley, a neurodiversity specialist coach and trainer, points out that AI tools are beneficial for people with psychiatric or psychological conditions as there's no shame or stigma in asking AI to do something. She, herself having dyslexia, ADHD, and autism, believes that AI chatbots allow her to outsource her challenges without having to overly explain why to another human. She emphasizes that if AI provides a mechanism to make the working world easier, then there's a strong argument to use it.
