Is there any scientific evidence to support the value of AI therapy?

Ha. Can you imagine what that study would look like? And what an ethics committee would have to say about it?

Naw. Tech people aren’t about “research”. Throw something together, and when your uninformed gut feeling tells you that it’s good enough, you snap a nice marketing site together and throw it over the fence.

I would never attempt it. AI is way to nascent to be applied like this when it is convincing people to commit suicide to save the planet, like last week.
