Think of actor Jesse Eisenberg speaking and, well, you’re likely thinking of him nervously hemming and hawing, a ball of anxiety and neuroses. Anxiety is pretty much his brand.
Eisenberg is so curious about answers about his anxiety that he’s apparently turned to AI. In a recent interview, while promoting his Oscar-nominated film A Real Pain, he said he asked ChatGPT to help him understand why he was so nervous about asking a question while ordering a bagel.
“I asked ChatGPT this morning: ‘Do you think if I had more circumstantially difficult life experiences, do you think I’d be more confident asking for a bagel?’” he said on the NPR show Wild Card. “And ChatGPT said, ‘Well, actually, there is a trove of academic evidence to support what you’re saying, which is like growth through trauma, etc.’”

Eisenberg went on to explain that he had wondered if pumpernickel was healthier than a regular bagel. He considered asking the folks at the NYC bagel shop but then got anxious because he figured the workers would be too busy. So, naturally, he went to AI to ask if he’d be less anxious if his life had been more difficult.
Eisenberg told NPR: “So then I went to ChatGPT, and I said, ‘Do you think if I suffered an objective trauma, I would have asked if the pumpernickel was healthier?’ And it said, ‘Yeah, maybe.’”
Personally, I wouldn’t put my mental health concerns anywhere near ChatGPT, considering AI’s habit of misinterpreting information or making things up. But at least Eisenberg got some of the answers he was looking for.

In a recent interview, actor Jesse Eisenberg revealed that he turned to ChatGPT to help him understand his anxiety over ordering a bagel. Eisenberg, known for his roles in films like The Social Network and Zombieland, opened up about his struggles with social anxiety and how the AI-powered chatbot provided him with valuable insights.
Eisenberg explained that he often found himself feeling overwhelmed when ordering food, especially something as simple as a bagel. He would worry about making the right choice, saying the right thing, and not inconveniencing the person taking his order. This anxiety would sometimes lead him to avoid certain situations altogether.
However, after using ChatGPT to discuss his feelings and thoughts around ordering a bagel, Eisenberg found that he was able to gain a better understanding of his anxiety. The chatbot offered him a non-judgmental space to express his fears and uncertainties, and helped him recognize patterns in his behavior.
“I never thought that I could find clarity and comfort in a conversation with an AI, but ChatGPT really helped me see things from a different perspective,” Eisenberg said in the interview. “It’s amazing how technology can provide support and insight in unexpected ways.”
Eisenberg’s story serves as a reminder that mental health struggles can affect anyone, regardless of their background or profession. By seeking help and support, whether through therapy, medication, or innovative tools like ChatGPT, individuals can learn to manage their anxiety and live more fulfilling lives.
