I feel like this is too strange a question to ask anywhere else.
I had ChatGBT write me a prayer and now I'm wondering if it's appropriate to use it. It's not like using a non-jewish prayer, is it? I told it that I'm Jewish (hence the language Ribbono Shel Olam) but it doesn't really have a consciousness to understand that.
"Ribbono Shel Olam, thank You for the gifts and tools You have given me. Help me use them wisely and with gratitude. Remind me that caring for myself is part of caring for my children and fulfilling the purpose You’ve given me. Guide me to make choices that honor You, my mission, and the blessings I’ve received."

Let's unpack this.
You wanted to come up with something original, your own words to talk to Hashem.
You used some outside support, and gave the support a prompt that reflected your deepest aspirations.
Sounds good so far.
The only concern is that ChatGPT is notorious for weirdness. What you need to do is read it over and ask yourself, does this reflect what I wanted to say? If you can say yes, own it. It's yours.
A P.S. Tefillah is composed of praise, request, and gratitude. Sometimes it's hard to find the difference between praise and gratitude. You might want to consider adding an ending. But you don't have to.

I think you're getting to the real issue. It's a non-jewish style prayer. I've seen a lot of these, intention/prayers. It's not the Jewish style of prayer, which is praise request and gratitude. And a whole bunch of other styles. I guess that's what bothers And as is typical of non-jewish prayers, it's almost talking to myself more than to God.

It looks like I'll be badly outvoted here  , but here's my opinion.
I wouldn't use it.
I've heard that when it comes to tefilla, the thoughts and intentions of the composer really make a difference. That's why we won't use a tefilla composed by a bad person, even though the tefilla itself may be beautiful.
It's true that a computer is not bad or evil, but it sure doesn't have a meaningful relationship with Hashem, either.
A tefilla that you put together using your own words, even if they aren't so eloquent, will be far more sincere and effective than something put together by a computer.

So make it your own. You can keep prompting till you get it right or trust yourself and do it on your own.
