Narrative Mindworks member Eli Strzelecka has created an enterprise called “CONSPICUIS – Artificial Intelligence for Mental Health” - www.conspicuis.xyz.
She writes – “Many psychologists suggest the practice of journaling as a means to articulate our emotions and experiences onto paper, even if it's not shared with anyone. In the age of generative AI, this process extends to conversing with an AI, crafted to offer us a sense of validation, visibility, and comprehension.
Sure a psychologist can do that, and friends and family can do that, helping us self-reflect, but not all the time or in the same way.
Outside of being a next-gen journal that can be used as a tool in the mental health journey, AI can also make art from a few words.
Using AI to interpret or distill a life moment or emotion is a new form of Art Therapy.
Strzelecka notes "A machine creates a visual reflection that allows us to discover aspects of ourselves, and it is exciting.”
