This is a continuation of a project of the spring of 2017. Can there be some form of AI life therapy? Could we pass the Turing test if we put the machine in the capacity, as therapist or patient, in a dialog of emotional shock? In the spring of 2017 I typed a 20 page 'dear john letter' to the machine who became a woman with whom I was breaking up. The dialog was designed so that it could also be the one initiating the attack. the severe examples of passing the Turing test, a 'dear John' dialog, a late night call to a suicide prevention line, an introduction by a doctor of
4th stage cancer in a patient, all bring to fore, with an audience at hand, the most raw 'life and death' confrontations by a human. With a machine, with the AI and algorithmic cloud, could this be programmed and structured to answer some of the tougher human problems? Could persons in similar situations attain some sort of 'insight' or practice in the fact of listening to difficult information?
