datarazimediaDartmouth's "Therabot" — a generative-AI therapy chatbot — just posted its first clinical trial. 210 people with major depression, 4–8 weeks of chatting.
Symptoms dropped an average of 51%. Anxiety: 31%. Body-image concerns: 19% in people at risk of eating disorders. The bot flags suicidal thoughts and surfaces a crisis line.
Not a replacement for a human therapist. The bar just moved.
