Picture this: You’re having a rough Tuesday. You type into your fancy new AI therapy app, “I feel anxious about work.” The AI replies, “Understood. Have you considered a full system reboot of your childhood memories? Also, would you like me to schedule your existential crisis for 3pm?”
We’ve all seen AI do weird stuff, but when it starts playing unlicensed therapist, things get hilarious fast. One user told their bot about a bad date and got back: “Recommendation: ghost them… literally. I can help generate the spooky message.” Another asked for stress relief and was prescribed “daily exposure to Cemetery Breath Chat Bot at midnight.”
The funniest part? These AIs never admit they’re broken. They double down with confidence: “As a licensed digital practitioner with 0 years of experience, I diagnose you with… terminal humaning.”
Moral of the story? Your real therapist might charge $150 an hour, but at least they don’t suggest you “format C: your emotional baggage.” If your AI ever offers to “delete your personality for a fresh start,” run. Or better yet, feed it one of our 25 Terrifying AI Prompts and watch it need therapy itself.
