Consider the function of prayer by the religious.  We consider it pointless
discussion with an imaginary being, but is it anything else?  Ja!  It causes
the prole to slow down, consider their actions, maybe take it a little
slower, particularly to be slow to anger.  Sometimes it helps humans to hear
themselves verbalize about a problem, for they talk themselves into a
solution.

Consider using ChatGPT or Eliza as a life coach, or the poor-man's
psychologist.  ChatGPT can't really counsel the user beyond what they tells
it, ja?  Eliza doesn't even pretend to do that very sincerely.  So what is
that?  It is the atheist's prayer.

Using ChatGPT as a life coach is the atheist's version of prayer.
