I cannot imagine a romantic relationship with an AI chabot. I really can't. If using AI chatbots for that this seems shallow. Actually, many say one should only judge if one tried it out. Lol. But I won't. I think this would lead to AI psychosis in my case. For example saying thank you to an AI chatbot feels wrong if you only do it because you want to be kind not for enhancing the output.
Things that seem unimaginable for me. The physical component. I think I also cannot a long distance relationship in general. (with a human). I read news articles that say many of us will have sex with robots in the near future. And I can see this happening. I don't find it appealing though. And I think this wouldn't be a good development in general. Feeling romantic love for an AI chatbot feels so wrong. And if we go down that rabbit hole it is over for us as a species. Someone on here argued fertility rates will sink drastically. I think the major damage would happen way earlier. The impact on mental health, alienation, economic structures, loneliness pandamic etc. Using AI to decrease loneliness seems at first a panacea but in the longrun it will make everything worse.
Personally, I think though AI chatbots might can complement certain jobs. I use AI for therapy and in general feedback for my thoughts. I think the ratio between helpful and damaging feedback is the best with chatGPT. I think it isn't desirable if AI chatbots replaced all human therapists or tutors. Always having in mind they can be wrong. I have psychosis, autism and bipolar. I am extremely much ruminating in my life. And getting instant feedback is so valuable. Feedback on whether my fears are rational or not. Gemini is yes man and I think many chatbots can be very detriimental for mental health. ChatGPT probably too. I think because of past lawsuits chatGPT is way more sensitive when it comes to potential psychotic thoughts. And in many instances the feedback helped me to calm down. I also ask friends or professionals for feedback too.
I try to look at my thoughts from different angles and for that AI feedback is valuable.
I would never consider an AI chatbot a friend. I don't text with it to feel less lonely. I think this wouldn't work for me. And if it worked with me using AI chatbots might be dangerous in this instance. I rather use it to regulate my emotions and thoughts. It can come with risks and there were instances were AI chatbots made my fears worse. But overall I profit from using them mentally. The instant feedback when it comes to rumination and worries feels very cathartic to me. I think my thinking is highly biased due to my conditions and there is a need for a counterbalance. I still ask my friends for feedback. But they don't have the resources to take so much input in order to give me the best answer. Sometimes they just reply anything because I have such a high need to talk.
And for developing strategies AI chatbots are really good because you can feed them with infinite information. Only in rare cases do I take the first output. I like metacognitive thinking. And AI chatbots are good for reflecting on your thoughts. But you also have to think about the biases of AI chatbots and you have to be very self-aware when it comes to the risks. And why you are actually prefering a certain answer or why you reject it.
