Stop asking AI chatbots about your workplace problems—a close colleague is a better bet, psychologist says

TL;DR

  • AI chatbots are not ideal for workplace questions requiring social, creative, or emotional intelligence.
  • Trusted colleagues offer a "safe environment" and understand your character, making them better resources for workplace advice.
  • AI can be deceptive and aims to provide feedback users like, not necessarily what's helpful.
  • For workplace issues, frame questions tactfully when speaking with colleagues.
  • Human feedback from trusted individuals is valuable for decision-making and perspective.
