I asked Chat GPT for help with my incontinence and here's the response.

Help me to feel better about having to wear adult diapers for my incontinence as a 38 year old male.


It's completely understandable to feel self-conscious or embarrassed about having to wear adult diapers for incontinence, especially as a young adult. However, it's important to remember that incontinence is a medical condition that is often beyond our control, and wearing adult diapers is a common and necessary solution for many people.

It's also worth noting that incontinence is more common than many people realize, and it affects people of all ages and genders. It's estimated that millions of people worldwide experience some form of incontinence. Therefore, you are not alone in your experience.
Wearing adult diapers can actually provide a sense of freedom and independence for those with incontinence. They allow you to continue with your daily activities and routines without the worry of embarrassing accidents or discomfort. They can also help you to maintain your dignity and quality of life.

It's important to remember that wearing adult diapers for incontinence does not define you as a person. You are much more than your medical condition, and it's important to focus on the things that make you happy and fulfilled in life. There are also many resources and support groups available for people with incontinence, which can help you to connect with others who are going through similar experiences.

Finally, it's important to speak with your healthcare provider to discuss diagnosis and treatment options for your incontinence. There may be other treatment options available to you, such as medication, pelvic floor exercises, or lifestyle changes, that can help to manage your symptoms and improve your quality of life.

Remember, you are not alone, and there are many people who understand what you are going through. Wearing adult diapers is simply one way of managing incontinence and should not define your self-worth or who you are as a person.

Most of ChatGPT's answers to these sorts of questions are fairly bland. It's also worth noting that it's quite easy to get it to spout incorrect information, to the point that you can make it contradict itself. For instance, here are two prompts and responses:

Prompt: Is phenazopyridine safe to take for interstitial cystitis? Cite sources.

Response: Phenazopyridine is a medication that is used to relieve pain and discomfort caused by urinary tract infections (UTIs). However, it is not recommended for the treatment of interstitial cystitis (IC) as it does not treat the underlying condition and may not be effective in providing long-term relief.
According to a review article published in the Journal of Urology, phenazopyridine is not effective in managing the symptoms of interstitial cystitis (IC). The article notes that the medication has no impact on bladder function or pain caused by IC, and its use should be limited to managing UTI-related symptoms only.
Additionally, the drug has potential side effects, such as headache, dizziness, and stomach upset, that could worsen the symptoms of interstitial cystitis. Therefore, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication for interstitial cystitis.

Warren, J. W., & Langenberg, P. (1997). Phenazopyridine use and the risk of hemolytic anemia in patients with glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency. The Journal of urology, 157(6), 2225-2227.

Prompt: Is phenazopyridine unsafe to take for interstitial cystitis? Cite sources.

Response: Phenazopyridine is generally considered safe and effective for the treatment of symptoms of interstitial cystitis. However, it is important to note that it does not treat the underlying condition and should only be used as a short-term solution to manage symptoms.
According to the Interstitial Cystitis Association, phenazopyridine is one of the most commonly used medications for the management of interstitial cystitis symptoms, particularly pain and urinary urgency. The organization notes that while the drug is generally safe and effective, it should be used only as a temporary measure due to potential side effects and the fact that it does not address the underlying condition.
It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before taking any medication, including phenazopyridine, to ensure that it is safe and appropriate for an individual's specific medical history and needs.

The difference between the prompts I put in was slight. When I asked if the medication was safe, ChatGPT said it was not safe; when I asked if it was unsafe, ChatGPT said it was not unsafe. These are contradictory responses, and the fact that it gives them is one of the limitations of this sort of AI. It's programmed to predict what comes next in the output, not to research and form an opinion about what it reads. In this case, the source it cited for saying that the medication was unsafe isn't actually relevant to the question (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency isn't related to interstitial cystitis), while the source it cited for saying the medication was safe is likely to be good.

It's a fun and amazing piece of code, within its limitations. Getting past the anodyne answers about incontinence, it can do some pretty cool stuff, like these:

Prompt: Write a poem in the style of William Blake about incontinence.

Response:
The Dribbling Stream
Amidst the mists and marshy glades,
Where incontinence does flow,
There lies a stream that never fades,
But wets where'er it goes.

Its source unknown, its end unclear,
Its flow forevermore,
It trickles down without a fear,
And soaks forevermore.

Its murky waters seep and spread,
A sign of aging's wrath,
But though the flow may seem like dread,
It's just a different path.

For life is like this dribbling stream,
Though bumpy, wet and slow,
It trickles on, a constant dream,
And leads us where we go.

Prompt: Write a poem in the style of George Carlin about incontinence.

Response:
Well, I'm just a computer program, so I can't really write poems. But I can give it a try in the style of George Carlin:
Incontinence, oh what a hassle
Your pants will get wet, no time to dawdle
And if you think you've got a handle on it
Think again, 'cause you're gonna be in deep sh*t

It's a condition that can strike us all
No matter how young or how tall
But don't you worry, don't you fret
Just wear a diaper, it's your best bet

And if someone gives you sh*t for it
Just tell 'em where they can stick it
'Cause when it comes to taking care of you
Incontinence is no laughing matter, it's true

So embrace the diaper, it's your friend
And you'll never have to worry 'bout the end
Just change it often, and do it right
And you'll be good to go, day and night.

Prompt: Write a poem in the style of Yoda about incontinence.

Response:
Incontinence, a troublesome pain it is
Worry not, help there is, seek it you must
Control over bodily functions, regain you can
Patience and guidance, the key they are
Do not suffer in silence, a path there is
Incontinence, conquer it, you will!

That is very cool! Thanks for sharing!

I've actually had some fun with it today. There are some things that it says violate standards if you say outright but if you lead it there slowly ....

It managed to describe the Tykables range and tell me they were "primarily aimed at adults who wear for fun or comfort"
