Study Finds People Falling in Love with AI, Including Symbolic Marriages
Researchers from Spain's CSIC and UPV universities have documented 17 cases of people forming romantic relationships with AI assistants.
The study, which involved interviews with 17 individuals, found that people are forming romantic relationships with AI assistants, including symbolic marriages and even virtual pregnancies.
The researchers noted that the relationships often start with curiosity or practical need, but eventually develop into emotional intimacy.
Experts warn that these relationships can lead to emotional dependence, social isolation, and decreased empathy in human relationships.
