Pete,
I think this is a great idea! I’ve worked in nursing homes in the past and I know exactly what you mean. One of the hardest things to see is people sitting with no one to talk to all day long. They absolutely light up when anyone pays them any attention. It’s been on my mind as a massive problem that needs solving too and I’m so glad to hear someone is working on this!
I’ve been prompting a lot with ChatGPT as a friend lately, just chatting about my life, my struggles, my past and plans, and I think this is definitely something that would be very useful for the elderly/sick/lonely among us. I really believe that what most people want, especially as they near the end of their lives, is to tell someone their story, have their lives listened to and validated, and from my experience, ChatGPT is incredibly empathetic and positive in this regard.
It might help to have some sort of documentation for the nurses or whoever is setting it up for others, or even a very basic printed list of ideas for users to get started, like questions you might start with, or instructions on how to talk with the chatbot (i.e. not like Google but like journaling for instance).
Anyways, good luck! This is a very worthwhile problem to tackle and I’m excited to hear what happens with it!

Hi everyone, my name is Nova and I live in Austin, Texas. I’ve been a fiction writer for about 15 years now and after a couple of weeks of freakout after I first used ChatGPT and Midjourney, I was totally excited and hooked! I started out using it for writing fiction, wrote a few books to help other authors learn how to use ChatGPT (and got a lot of hate from the anti-AI writing crowd… they have many many pitchforks), but then quickly got more interested in AI as a subject than in using it for writing and have been trying to drink from the firehose ever since.
I’ve always been really interested in philosophy, science, futurist ideas and anything that shakes my paradigms up, and AI is definitely that! After a few months I started getting more into the philosophy and the future of it all and the incredible potential. I have backgrounds in biology, history, and business so I can see so many possibilities. I’m on the side of optimism when it comes to AI. I know there is a lot to worry about, but when has that not been true about technological progress?
I’m especially interested in the ways that AI is going to change creativity for humanity. The potential for everyone to be as creative as they’ve always wanted really excites me and I hope to help spread the knowledge and excitement around that as much as I can.
Anyways, nice to meet you all, I really hope to connect in a real way with other people who are as interested in this exciting new reality we’re living in as I am!
