Obsidian Private AI - Talk to Your Journal, Help Process Your Feelings

Zuckerberg recently said in a public interview with Dwarkesh that a top usage of AI is to prepare to have a tough conversation with a loved one or a manager. But, I use it to have conversations with someone even more difficult, myself.

I really enjoy using ChatGPT and other models for this, however with memories and personalization, it started popping up in my other prompts which made me nervous. Do I want my most private thoughts being stored forever and used for personalization?

I journal a lot and wanted to be completely free to express how I feel, and use AI to ask questions that help me think differently.

In my journal entries, I ask it.

“Talk to this journal entry like a good friend”
“Is there another reason for this person’s behavior that I’m not seeing?”
“Is there something that I’m not seeing as a result of the trauma I’ve experienced?”
“Pretend you are Bill Campbell, the famous coach to Silicon Valley coach, what does this person need to hear?”
