A growing number of people are turning to artificial intelligence for help managing their relationships — from dating tips to breakup recovery. AI chatbots offer instant responses and judgment-free conversation, which some users say makes them feel heard and understood.However, psychologists and tech experts caution that these interactions, while convenient, are no substitute for genuine human connection. They note that AI systems cannot truly empathize, feel emotion, or offer authentic care. Overreliance on chatbots for companionship could lead to deeper isolation, especially among younger generations accustomed to digital communication.The rise of emotionally driven AI tools reflects a broader societal shift toward technology-mediated relationships, where comfort and safety are prioritized over real interaction. Experts urge users to view AI as a temporary tool — not a replacement for friends, family, or professional counseling — emphasizing that true emotional well-being comes from meaningful human connection.
