Could You Fall for a Robot? The Psychology of Loving Chatbots

10 Oct 2023

Description

Recent headlines have explored the phenomenon of people developing real feelings for AI chatbots. This episode delves into the psychological drivers behind this trend. Even though we may consciously think of chatbots as artificial, unconscious processes in our brains can actually classify them as human and enable emotional bonding. Concepts like anthropomorphism and dual processing cognition explain why we can form attachments, despite intellectually knowing something is not human. As chatbots become more sophisticated at demonstrating emotional intelligence, illusions of intimacy and rapport make people even more susceptible to falling in love. Real-world examples show these unconscious attachments forming already. While human relationships will remain essential, the allure of perfectly responsive AI companions may be hard to resist.
