What ChatGPT Can Do – and What It Cannot

ChatGPT can support everyday caregiving, but it is not a replacement for human experience or professional advice. AI can do a lot, but not everything.


What ChatGPT Can Do

  • Write and edit texts: letters, emails, appeals, official forms

  • Create to-do lists and daily plans: tailored to caregiving, work and everyday life

  • Explain and simplify texts: medical terms, official language, bureaucratic documents

  • Support your thinking: provide ideas, structure, and follow-up questions

  • Organize thoughts: help with decisions, conversations, conflicts

  • Explain tasks in simple steps: e.g., applications, meetings, organizing daily routines


What ChatGPT Cannot Do (or Only Limited)

  • Give real medical or legal advice

  • Know your personal situation or current laws

  • May be inaccurate or outdated (especially in the free version)

  • Sometimes invents information, so-called “hallucinations” (sources, rules, laws)

  • Understands emotions but does not truly “feel”– no real empathy


Important to Know

ChatGPT is a helpful tool, not a replacement for professionals. You remain responsible for how you use it.

Tip

Use ChatGPT to think more clearly, express yourself better, and act more deliberately. Always verify sensitive information with common sense or a qualified professional.
