Quote:<br>
Dartmouth researchers conducted the first clinical trial of a therapy<br>
chatbot powered by generative AI and found that the software resulted<br>
in significant improvements in participants' symptoms, according to<br>
results published in NEJM AI, a journal from the publishers of the New<br>
England Journal of Medicine.<br>
<br>
People in the study also reported they could trust and communicate<br>
with the system, known as Therabot, to a degree that is comparable to<br>
working with a mental-health professional.<br>
------------------<br>
<br>
AIs have the advantage that they never get tired or irritated and are<br>
always polite and helpful.<br>
