Thanks everyone for your thoughts and ideas so far — this is incredibly valuable.

For anyone interested, here’s the short survey I mentioned (US participants only): https://bit.ly/4qJYG4T

It’s part of early research to understand how people actually experience and perceive AI-assisted therapy — what feels promising, what feels risky, and where the boundaries of trust might be.

No signup or marketing — just 5 quick questions to help us learn what people genuinely expect from AI-supported mental health services.

Really appreciate any input you’re willing to share.

Busted link. Note it is a trope in Japanese fiction about VR that VR MMOs have mental health AIs in them, see

Thanks for flagging. Here’s the correct link (should work now): https://bit.ly/4qJYG4T

It’s a short, 5-question research survey about how people perceive AI-assisted therapy — what feels promising, what feels risky, and what matters most to users. No signup, no marketing — just research.

Still busted.

Pro tip: off-brand domains like "online" and "xyz" are frequently blocked by ISPs and are a certain way to be a low agency NPC. Get a respectable domain like "com" or "org" and don't be ashamed to direct directly to it.
