– Q looked up quotes on how to manage stress got the following: “The greatest weapon against stress is our ability to choose one thought over another”
– AI took it further and suggested that we can actively manage stress by directing our thoughts and focusing on positive or constructive ones instead of dwelling on negative ones.
– Q doesn’t believe forcing yourself to replace negative thoughts with positive ones works for most people, including himself. – Q learned that AI can give out some dumb advice.
