Have you ever thought, "No, better to not. Better to suffer in silence than take the wild gamble of confiding in another fallible human being?"

If so, lonely heart, there is a robot out there for you!

New York-based production company Third Party Films will be traveling around NYC in the coming weeks with a "pop-up confessional booth." Volunteers can confess their sins to a robot that will "listen" to their stories and ask follow-up questions. The whole thing is supposedly being filmed for the pilot of an upcoming HBO documentary series about artificial intelligence.

The booth's creators describe its interior design as "stern, yet comfy," and "there is a bench." They also describe the robot's voice as "soothing," if that makes a difference to you. I will be frank (in preparation for the first honest conversation of my life, my conversation with this robot), and say that I suspect having a robot ask for the intimate details of my worst deeds will in no way be "soothing." But I can't afford therapy, so I'll give it a chance!
