Yeah I thought that until I shoved an AItA post into gptchat, and got a response that was more caring and empathic than any post on question.

It's just imitating empathy though, may well be better at doing so than most people, but feelings aren't comforting when they're manufactured. I do kind of disagree with the AI response that it couldn't fulfill the role of a therapist though, it could certainly do a better job in emotional support than some people who actively harm their clients through malpractice or ignorance.
