A new book called 'Artificial Intimacy' is examining whether an AI companion saying 'I love you' carries any genuine meaning. The work explores the growing number of people forming emotional and romantic relationships with chatbots, and what those bonds reveal about human connection. The topic is drawing attention as AI companions become more common and emotionally convincing.
Why now: Rising use of AI companions is making people question the meaning of emotional responses from chatbots.
