Woes to the Woebot: Can artificial intelligence replace human therapists?

No, this is not me on the psychiatrist's couch. I'm far too much of the stereotypical man to admit there's actually something wrong to another human. However, lying on my own couch with smartphone in hand, I've decided to reveal all… to a Woebot. Woebot is a digital service available on iOS and Android smartphones. The application is designed to assist people in dealing with personal or mental health issues such as anxiety and depression.
