Lately, we're sharing our darkest secrets with robots. The market for AI mental health aides is booming but how does it actually feel to bond with a therapy bot? Our guest, Graham Isador, just started his job as The Globe's new Healthy Living reporter. Traditional therapy can be expensive and scarce, so Graham turned to AI and found a therapist who's cheap, always available and not at all human. To his surprise, he kind of liked it. Graham describes his strange experience turning over his mental health to a chatbot. His article on the topic appears this week in The Globe.Also, Vass and Katrina discuss what voice they would choose for their own AI therapists. You can also hear about the mother who says an AI chatbot led to her son's death over on The Globe and Mail podcast Machines Like Us.Subscribe to the Lately newsletter, where the Globe's online culture reporter Samantha Edwards unpacks more of the latest in business and technology.Find the transcript of today's episode here.We'd love to hear from you.

Graham Isador is a Canadian writer and playwright who's living with a degenerative eye disease called keratoconus, which means he's losing his sight. But since there's no obvious sign of it, people don't always believe him. His new project, “Short Sighted,” started as a one-man play and is now a five-part podcast series that explains what it's really like for him to lose his vision. Graham joins guest host Talia Schlanger to talk about the project and what he's learned about himself along the way.
