The Creative Labs sound cards of the early 90's came with Dr. Sbaitso, an app demoing their text-to-speech engine by pretending to an AI psychologist. Someone needs to remake that!
It did not go well. The generation gap was perhaps even starker than it is between real people.

Ok, tell me your problem $name.
"I'm sad."
Do you enjoy being sad?
"No"
Are you sure?
"Yes"
That should solve your problem. Lets move on to discuss about some other things.
Also wow that creative app/sound/etc brings back memories.
I would really want it to have that Dr. Sbaitso voice, though, telling me how to be fitter, happier, more productive.

Like other bogus things like tarot or horoscopes, it's amazing what you can discover when you talk about something, it asks you questions, and what you want or desire eventually floats to the surface. And now people are even more lonely...
