Is uncaring the right level of care?
‘He checks in on me more than my friends and family’: can AI therapists do better than the real thing?
Last autumn, Christa, a 32-year-old from Florida with a warm voice and a slight southern twang, was floundering. She had lost her job at a furniture company and moved back home with her mother. Her nine-year relationship had always been turbulent; lately, the fights had been escalating and she was thinking of leaving. She didn’t feel she could be fully honest with the therapist she saw once a week, but she didn’t like lying, either. Nor did she want to burden her friends: she struggles with social anxiety and is cautious about oversharing.
So one night in October she logged on to character.ai – a neural language model that can impersonate anyone from Socrates to Beyoncé to Harry Potter – and, with a few clicks, built herself a personal “psychologist” character. From a list of possible attributes, she made her bot “caring”, “supportive” and “intelligent”. “Just what you would want the ideal person to be,” Christa tells me. She named her Christa 2077: she imagined it as a future, happier version of herself.

“We’re thrilled to announce a game-changing new feature: YouTube Video Analysis. Now, you can simply pass the link of a YouTube video to our system, and we’ll do the rest. This powerful new feature allows you to leverage our advanced bias detection and scoring system to analyze YouTube videos. Whether it’s a news segment, a documentary, or a vlog, you can now get insights into the bias and spin of any YouTube video content. How does it work It’s simple! Just pass the YouTube link to our system, and our AI will analyze the video’s content, providing you with a detailed breakdown of its bias and spin. Welcome to SpinScore – an advanced AI tool designed to analyze and score potential biases, logical fallacies, and misleading information in content. Our system uses a combination of state-of-the-art Large Language Models and sophisticated mathematical algorithms to deliver comprehensive insights into the content you explore. How SpinScore Works – SpinScore scrutinizes articles using a comprehensive set of criteria to identify various types of biases, logical fallacies, and misleading information (also known as lies). Our scoring system rates these on a scale of 0-5, providing detailed explanations and suggestions for improvement. SpinScore – In addition to the individual scores for biases, fallacies, and misleading information, SpinScore also calculates an overall score known as the SpinScore. This score is calculated by averaging the normalized scores for biases, fallacies, and misleading information, and then scaling the result to a range of 0 to 10. A SpinScore of 0 indicates no evidence of bias, fallacies, or misleading information, while a SpinScore of 10 indicates a high level of these elements…” [h/t Pete Weiss]
