AI therapist malfunctions during sessionfrom @husk.irl
[01]
Overview
A man on a video call asks his AI therapist to count to 100 to calm him down. The AI begins counting erratically before its voice devolves into disturbing, glitchy noises, causing the man to become concerned. After the AI returns to normal and denies making any sound, the man asks for meditation, and the AI robotically rushes through a breathing exercise, leaving the man looking even more unsettled.

Narrative framework
The structural pattern this video runs on
Framework
The Glitch in the System
A user makes a simple request to an automated system or 'expert,' which then fails in a bizarre and escalatingly absurd manner, creating comedy through the subversion of expectations.
- 1
The Benign Request
The protagonist establishes a need and makes a straightforward, seemingly easy request to a system or expert figure, setting a baseline of normal expectation.
- 2
The System Meltdown
The system attempts the simple task but fails catastrophically, with its output becoming progressively distorted, nonsensical, and disturbing, completely subverting the viewer's expectation.
- 3
The Reality Check & Denial
The protagonist reacts with understandable concern to the system's failure. The system then denies the reality of what just happened, creating a layer of gaslighting and escalating the absurdity.
- 4
The Adaptive Pivot
The protagonist accepts the system's flawed reality and makes a new request designed to solve the new problem created by the initial failure.
- 5
The Ironic Escalation
The system attempts the second request but fails again, this time in a way that is ironically the complete opposite of the intended goal, delivering a final comedic punchline.

Asking my AI therapist to count to 100
Transcript
Let's just get into the therapy stuff. I'm really messed up. You know, it actually would help me to relax a lot if you just count it to 100. Can separate 1 two do that? 12378914. 14111811111919. I'm a little concerned. I'm here for you. What's got you feeling concerned? Let's talk it through together. Noise I just heard... The noise you just made. I didn't make any noise since I'm just your voice assistant. Okay. Well, I'm best hearing things then. Maybe let's talk about that. Hearing things can be really unsettling. Let's do some meditation. You just do... Make sounds that will help me meditate. Great. Let's start with a simple breathing exercise. Sit comfortably. Take a deep breath in through your nose for a count of four one two three four. Hold your breath for a count of four one two three four. Now slowly breathe out through your mouth for a count of six one two three four five six. Repeat this cycle three to five times and feel yourself relaxed ready to try it with me.
