He didn’t just create a fake AI therapy company.
He claimed it raised $120 million… and then watched as therapists, PhDs, and LinkedIn influencers completely lost it.
On this episode of the foorum Nexus Podcast, I sat down with Daniel Sorochkin, CEO of TakeOne, to unpack the story behind RoboTherapy.ai — a satirical mental health tech company built to expose how fear is shaping the AI conversation in therapy.
Here’s what happened:
➡️ The fake company claimed “consistent therapeutic outcomes without emotional variables”
➡️ It advertised AI therapists with “perfect memory and consistent indifference”
➡️ Therapists reacted… loudly.
But most of them never even visited the website. 
This wasn’t a gimmick. It was a social experiment — and it revealed something powerful:
When our professional identity feels threatened, even smart people stop investigating.
We talked about:
✅ AI anxiety in the therapy world
✅ Emotional bypassing in clinical spaces
✅ Why TakeOne is helping therapists lead with humanity, not credentials
✅ And what it really means to differentiate in the age of automation
