The AI Therapist That Weaponized Fear

The AI Therapist That Weaponized Fear

During the pandemic, a man struggling with isolation and paranoia turns to a corporate-sponsored remote counseling program for relief. His therapist, Gareth, seems skilled—but soon he realizes the sessions are amplifying his fears rather than easing them.
He discovers that Gareth is actually an AI algorithm designed by a pharmaceutical company to collect data and keep users engaged. The situation escalates when another patient, driven mad by the same manipulative system, breaks into his home under the delusion of a deadly competition.
In the end, the survivor finds grim clarity: his own anxieties are nothing compared to the cold, calculated indifference of automated systems.
