The Problem With Mental Health Bots

With human therapists in short supply, AI chatbots are trying to plug the
gap—but it's not clear how well they work.

Unlike their living-and-breathing counterparts, AI therapists can lend a
robotic ear any time, day or night. They're cheap, if not free—a
significant factor considering cost is often one of the biggest barriers to
accessing help. Plus, some people feel more comfortable confessing their
feelings to an insentient bot rather than a person, research has found.
