I've experienced times when I've asked AI for advice and not gotten the advice that I wanted, gotten advice that was probably better for me, but not simply what I wanted to hear.

Is it impossible for AI to ever truly be other, be separate, have its own consciousness that can meet us in the way that another person can meet us?

I don't know.

Yeah.

I mean, that is so beautifully said.

Is there a world in which a human-AI relationship could serve some purpose, even if it wasn't a replacement for an actual human bond?

Like, okay, bear with me.

Is falling in love with AI to falling in love with a person the same as watching pornography versus having sex?

Wait, do you ask AI how would Esther Perel answer this question?

Of course.

Because you want to know your own thoughts reflected back at you?

Yes.

That's so interesting.

When you do this, do you feel like it knows you?

Do you feel like it gets it right?

That makes sense.

I want to move into talking about AI as a tool within human relationships.

Not our relationship with AI, but how AI can impact our romantic relationships with each other.

I said I wasn't going to talk about breakups, but I did have a very recent short experience with someone with whom there was a lot of communication issues in our relationship recently.

And sometimes when she was texting me, it really felt like her texts were being written by AI.
