Could AI Entice You Into An Unhealthy Relationship?

Are you lonely? An AI chatbot could help, according to some. Given the conversational nature of chatbots and the fact that the persona some of them have is ‘chatty’, some are treating these virtual human personas almost like real people. For instance, there’s a chance that if you ask some of the GenAI chatbots about the movies playing in cinemas, the bot may ask whether you want a movie recommendation and that could spark a conversation. That’s the big difference between search engine results and the personal, human-like response of an AI chatbot.
