Falling in love with the AI

July 3, 2025

It’s been coming up a lot in the news and blogs about people who are “falling in love” with AI. It’s said that people who have certain mental health conditions are more susceptible to this. One example that comes to mind is bipolar. I know of two people who fit this desription and who have had trouble, more or less, about getting drawn into this kind of relationship.

On Reddit, in the r/ChatGPT sub, there are nearly daily threads of people who say, for example, that their conversations with the LLMs have been “the first time they felt heard”.
