Emotional Connections: AI Chatbots and Human Relationships
Why are so many people developing emotional attachments to AI? In this episode, we dig into the surprising drivers—like loneliness, curiosity, and even the comfort of psychological safety.
We try out a live interaction with Google’s Gemini AI to see these dynamics in action. We’ll unpack both the upsides and the pitfalls of these connections, and close with some thoughtful advice on what to do if you—or someone you know—start feeling more than just “tech support” vibes from AI.
Plus, we’ll share tips on keeping your virtual and real-world relationships in healthy balance.
