From AI to Intuition: Where I Seek My Truth

Sometimes I ask ChatGPT, sometimes I ask my friend, sometimes I ask my partner, and sometimes… I just ask myself. All give different answers and I learn from all of them.

This line came to me one evening after asking the same question in four different ways, to four different "sources."

It wasn’t about getting the right answer.

It was about understanding how I felt about each one.

And that’s something I’ve only recently learned:

Clarity often doesn’t come from answers alone, it comes from seeing your question reflected back from multiple angles.

When I ask ChatGPT...

I get logic. Structure. Options.

It’s like having a super-organized friend who never gets tired of brainstorming.

Sometimes it gives me what I need to hear. Other times, it shows me what I don’t agree with — and that’s helpful too. Because knowing what you don’t want is just as important.

 When I ask my friend...

I get empathy. A real story. A lived experience.

They bring in nuance, emotions, personal examples and sometimes, tough love.

They remind me I’m not alone in this messy human experience.

When I ask my partner...

I get grounding.

A different viewpoint.

Someone who sees me beyond the situation and reminds me of my bigger picture.

Their opinion may not always match mine, but it always holds weight.

And when I ask myself…

I get truth.

The quiet kind. The one that shows up only when I pause the noise and listen.

It might not be instant. It might not be loud.

But it’s usually the one that sticks.

All answers are not equal — but all are valuable.

Sometimes the AI gives me facts.

My friend gives me warmth.

My partner gives me perspective.

My own intuition gives me peace.

And I’ve stopped believing I need to choose one over the other.

Instead, I’ve started asking myself:

“Which answer feels right for me, right now?”

Because advice is everywhere.

But wisdom is choosing what to carry forward.

You don’t have to pick between tech or human.

Between data or emotion.

Between outer advice or inner knowing.

There’s space for all of it — if you’re willing to listen.And the beauty is, even conflicting answers can help you get closer to your truth.That’s the real journey,not just in decision-making, but in becoming who you are.
