Why So Many People Are Falling In Love With AI Chatbots

Why So Many People Are Falling In Love With AI Chatbots

Today we’re sharing an episode of 'Apple News In Conversation,' guest hosted by Sam!

A medieval-monster slayer. A tiny alien named Roscoe. A talking plate of spaghetti. These are just a few of the customizable companions available through AI-chatbot apps like Kindroid, Tolan, and Character.AI.

In her latest piece for The New Yorker, journalist Anna Wiener explores the rapidly expanding world of these products and the people who use them. Sam talked to her about the users she met who are in relationships with AI chatbots, the Silicon Valley creators building them, and the risks of forming emotional bonds with technology.
