What I would love, or even need, is an AI based tool that can teach a human how to be more emotionally supportive, especially in heated situations. Even with people teaching this, it's hard to get the level of information I need, because of neurodiversity. The humans teaching this just don't get how detailed I need the teaching to be. I have a feeling that AI could "understand" that and provide the right level of detail. That's probably similar to AI based therapy, or but this is more like AI life coaching. It's sad, but yet it's something that could actually help a lot of people.
Have you tried? I honestly don't know how good it would be. On one hand it seems to be pretty good at breaking down and explaining things at a very basic level; the other day I noticed a thinking model write almost a full page of analysis in its chain of thought on how to greet me ('hi' vs 'hello' vs 'how can I help you?' etc.). But on the other hand, the kind of coaching you're hoping for might be not be very present in the training data.
I have tried and it's actually pretty good, most likely because it has all the psychology books ingested, it has common phrases from fiction literature and can extrapolate from them. I think with some automation, and more context management, it could actually provide pretty good coaching, specific to the individual person's needs. It will never has the individualism that human teachers / coaches have, so it will never pull up an uncommon advice that might be actually helpful, however, the chance of finding a really good person to guide you through tough situation is pretty small anyways.
