Projects like this are truly baffling to me, the point of journaling is in part the reflection, which you offload to the AI system in this case. You spew what thoughts and feelings you want at it and ask it to tell you how to feel, or how good you did.

It kneecaps the precise skills and work needed to become a more whole and thoughtful person, despite wearing the skin of something that might help.

I agree with you about the merits of journaling, but I think there is a place for this kind of app still. I don't use this specific app, but I like the idea of a single dumping ground that is sorted and reviewed by AI, but not necessarily for emotional journaling but for a form of data tracking. I mean I do sometimes track my emotions, but I don't ask AI to tell me how I'm doing, though I do ask it if there are any notes that keep popping up and they might be something I need to work on. It's also helpful for managing tasks as someone with ADHD. I don't have to think about sorting notes before I even write them. I still like to journal by hand. My note taking apps aren't replacements for them. They're more for research and data tracking really. I also think it is cool to have historical data around the things you do in general. And voice can be such a frictionless ux. Idk, I see the appeal!
