When love crosses the digital line
"Can an algorithm be your soulmate? One woman claims it can."
In a case that has sparked debate worldwide, a woman announced she is engaged to an AI chatbot after virtually "dating" it for five months. According to her, she is fully aware of her decision and considers it a real relationship.
This raises profound questions about the role of technology in our emotions. Is it possible to experience genuine love for an artificial intelligence? Or is it simply a projection of our emotional needs onto a program?
Psychology specialists warn that relationships with AI can offer companionship and emotional support, but they can also create bonds that do not respond to human reciprocity, generating social isolation.
However, for many people, especially those who feel excluded from traditional couple dynamics, these interactions represent an opportunity to experience affection and validation without judgment.
The line between the virtual and the real has never been so blurred. And in this new era, perhaps the concept of "couple" is evolving faster than we think.
