Go to source). Previous research has shown that personal narratives -- the stories we tell ourselves about our lives -- can play a critical role in identity and help us make sense of the past and present.
‘Two studies have suggested that OpenAI's ChatGPT-4 excels in crafting personalized narratives by tapping into stream-of-consciousness musings and demographic data.

It is also known that by helping people reinterpret narratives, therapists can guide patients toward healthier thoughts and behaviors. To explore, researchers from the Positive Psychology Center at the University of Pennsylvania tested the ability of ChatGPT-4 to generate individualized personal narratives. The study findings, published in the Journal of Positive Psychology, showed that 25 of the 26 participants rated the AI-generated responses as completely or mostly accurate, 19 rated the narratives as very or somewhat surprising, and 19 indicated they learned something new about themselves.
"This is a rare moment in the history of scientific psychology: Artificial intelligence now promises much more effective psychotherapy and coaching," said Martin Seligman, Professor of Psychology, and director of the Positive Psychology Center.

For each participant, the researchers fed ChatGPT-4 recorded stream-of-consciousness thoughts, which were likened to diary entries with thoughts as simple as "I'm hungry" or "I'm tired"."In a separate study published concurrently in The Journal of Positive Psychology, the team fed five narratives rated "completely accurate" into ChatGPT-4, asked for specific interventions, and found that the chatbot generated highly plausible coaching strategies and interventions."
"Since coaching and therapy typically involve a great deal of initial time spent fleshing out such an identity, deriving this automatically from 50 thoughts represents a major saving," the researchers said.

“This could be a tool for helping people gain self-insight. We see this as something that can be used in the therapeutic context, not as something that would replace a therapist,” the researchers said.
