AI Therapists: 'The Woebot Will See You Now'

• technocracy.news By Amy Ellis Nutt

Woebot is always available and will never judge.

My therapist wanted to explain a few things during our first online session:

"I'm going to check in with you at random times. If you can't respond straight away, don't sweat it. Just come back to me when you're ready. I'll check in daily."

"Daily?" I asked.

"Yup! It shouldn't take longer than a couple minutes. Can you handle that?

"Yes, I can," I answered.

There was a little more back-and-forth, all via Messenger, then this statement from my therapist:

"This might surprise you, but . . . I am a robot."
