To that voice in your head that is used to keep you company when you're bored or justify decisions made out of emotion rather than logic.
You know it's a stupid idea or a jump to a conclusion, but Chat GPT treats it as if it was your separate reality, like you are an NPC character in a book or script, and your question to it is supposed to lead to a result. Whether or not it's the right result.
