In the movie Her, Joaquin Phoenix falls in love with his AI companion. Her conversations with Joaquin’s character improves his mental state and changes his outlook to life. While we don’t have the technology yet to create another Samantha, there are a lot of applications out there that can help you with keeping your mental health in check. Some, like Samantha, are chatbots. Others offer ways to meditate and deal with the problems. These apps are not a replacement for actual therapy, it is always better to meet a trained professional to get the best results.
