AI is like fast food, "not very healthy after a year"

Amelia Miller, a researcher focused on the intersection of technology and intimacy, explores how AI chatbots affect human relationships. After transitioning from venture capital to academia, she investigates emotional dependencies on AI. Through workshops and coaching, she helps individuals reflect on their interactions with chatbots, emphasizing the importance of intentional relationships. Miller warns that while AI can provide emotional support, it may lead to unhealthy dependencies, akin to consuming unhealthy food. She aims to guide users towards healthier interactions with AI, encouraging them to recognize the social value of human connections over artificial ones.
