Now becoming increasingly popular: “Woebot,” a chatbot recently created by researchers which can act as a therapist for people who are feeling troubled.
It has it’s limitations, though. They connected one to Trump’s Twitter feed and it reformatted it’s C: drive in despair.
Really? And the psychiatric community is going to let these robots take their jobs? Fascinating.
“Siri, meet Woebot. You two answer each other’s questions.” {Leaves room}.
.
“Doc season.”
“Woebot season!”
“Doc season!”
Weaning people off these gizmeds will require a Woebotomy.
Can’t wait for the R. Lee Ermy woebot:
“You’re sad? Let me help. DROP AND GIVE ME 50! NOW, MAGGOT! YOU HAPPY NOW? SO HOW COME YOU’RE NOT SMILING? SMILE MAGGOT! There, all better now.”
“I’ve got your name! I’ve got your IP number!”
