The Although the book appears to be unusual, I am not very interested in technology or robotics as a subject. I'll thus pass on this one. Thanks for the informative review.

I appreciate the efforts scientists put into creating versatile AIs. Even though it will be a welcome idea for AIs to be used in the treatment of mental health, I do not think I'll trust that idea enough haha. This book seems like a great one! Congratulations to the author.

I'm interested to see how a robot would fit into society, especially a robot that does therapy. I would like to read this book. Congrats on BOTD!

I don't think this book is for me. I didn't understand the plot and have no interest in clinical psychology.

It sounds like this will be an exciting dive into AI ethics surrounding therapy and clinical psychology.

Book review seems quite intriguing and slightly reminds me of a greatly beloved video game on robots and AIs: "Detroit become human".
I love AI tales of robots achieving self conscience, because I work in the field, and I am passionate about it. I will read it for sure!

Using a robot for psychotherapy is an interesting concept that could be used to better human lives in the real world. But, as the book shows, the robot could very well gain too much knowledge on its own. I wonder if this type of service could ever become available? Thanks for the review!

This book should be read by all who enjoy science fiction novels. It follows the story of scientists who develop a robot who is able to help people with psychological problems such as addiction and depression. I'm curious to find out how developed and progressive the robot becomes. Congrats on the BOTD!

I dislike books that involve artificial intelligence evolving into emotions shown by people. I believe AI is only as smart as the person who programmed or created it. Any opinions the AI gives are that of the programmer. Nice review.

Artificial intelligence is an interesting topic. Robots can be a great help to us but they also have their limitations. I enjoyed the review but will give the book a pass.

RT9 may have provided solution for the healthcare industry. However, robotics can be manipulated, and that is what we seem to see in this narrative. I would love to see how the story unfolds.

I love the idea behind creating a robot so as to help fixed some of this societal problems like depression. Kudos to the author for doing a fantastic job because topics like this requires intensive research. :techie-studyingbrown:
