Artificial intelligence comrades: a threat to love, or its development?

Since our life grows digitally digital and spends more time interacting with scary human chatbots, the line between human communication and the simulation of the machine began to be blurry.

Today, more than 20 % DATERS reports using artificial intelligence for things such as formulating dating profiles or conversations that excite, for every modern A. Match.com Study. Some take more by forming emotional ties, including romantic relationships, with artificial intelligence comrades.

Millions of people around the world use Amnesty International comrades from companies such as Replika, Formage AI and Nomi AI, including 72 % of adolescents. Inform some people Falling in love with more LLMS in general, such as ChatGPT.

For some, the direction of the dating robots is Dystopian and unhealthy, which is a real version of the movie “Her” and a sign that authentic love is replaced by the technology company code. For others, artificial intelligence comrades are the lifeline, which is a way to feel vision and support in a world in which it is difficult to find the human intimate relationship. A recent study found this A quarter of young people I think artificial intelligence relationships can replace human factors completely.

Love, apparently, is no longer accurately a human being. The question is: Should it be? Or can artificial intelligence dating be better than human dating?

This was the subject of the discussion last month at an event in New York City, hosted by Open to Debate, a non -party media that was saved by the discussion. TECHCRUNCH has been granted exclusively to the publication of the full video (which includes me to ask Debaters a question, because I am a reporter, and I cannot help myself!).

The journalist and director Nima Reda was discussed. Reza was previously the “ON Kara Swisher” CEO “On with Kara Swisher”, the current host of “Smart Girl Dumb”.

The beating for the comrades of artificial intelligence was Thao Ha, a professor participating in psychology at Arizona State University and co -founder of Modern Love Collective, where it calls for techniques that enhance our ability to love, sympathize and luxury. In the discussion, she said, “Artificial intelligence is a new connection to … not a threat to love, but its development.”

Justin Garcia, CEO and world chief at the Kinzi Institute, and chief scientific advisor for Match.com. It is an evolutionary biologist who focuses on sex and relationships, and his next book entitled “The intimate animal.”

Always there, but is this a good thing?

Haa says artificial intelligence comrades can provide people with emotional support and verify the health of many in their human relations.

“AI listens to you without the ego,” he said. “He adapts without a judgment. He learns to love in consistent and fast ways, and perhaps safer. It understands you in ways in which no one else is. It is my curiosity enough about your thoughts, it can make you laugh, and it can surprise you with a poem.

I asked the audience to compare this level of attention to “your ex -husband or perhaps your current partner.”

She said: “The person who sighs when you start talking, or the person who says,” I am listening, “without looking for them while continuing to pass their phones.” “When was the last time I asked you how are you, what do you feel, what do you think?”

She admitted that since artificial intelligence has no awareness, it does not claim that “artificial intelligence can love us original.” This does not mean that people do not have expertise It is loved by artificial intelligence.

Garcia replied that it is not really good for humans to have constant verification and attention, to rely on a machine that was asked to answer in ways you want. This is not a “honest indication of a dynamic relationship,” he said.

“This idea that artificial intelligence will replace ascending, landing, and chaos of the relationships that we yearn for? I don’t think so.”

Training or replacement wheels

Garcia noted that artificial intelligence comrades can be good training wheels for some people, such as nervous people who may be concerned about dates and need to practice how to flirt with or conflict solution.

“I think if we were using it as a tool to build skills, yes … this may be very useful for many people,” said Garcia. “The idea that this is the model of the permanent relationship? No.”

According to Match.com Individual study in America,, Which was released in June, nearly 70 % of people say they consider betrayal of betrayal if their partner engages with artificial intelligence.

He said: “Now I think on the one hand, it goes to (hectare), that people say these are real relationships.” “On the other hand, it goes to my view, it is threats to our relationships. The human animal does not tolerate threats to their long -term relationships.”

How do you like something you cannot trust?

Garcia says that trust is the most important part of any human relationship, and people do not trust artificial intelligence.

“According to a recent survey, a third of Americans believes that artificial intelligence will destroy humanity,” Garcia said, noting that a recent YOUGO survey found that 65 % of Americans had little confidence in artificial intelligence to make moral decisions.

Garcia said: “A little risk can be exciting for a short -term relationship, and one night story, but you generally don’t want to wake up next to someone you think may kill or destroy society,” Garcia said. “We cannot flourish with a person, organism or robot that we do not trust.”

Haa replied that people tend to trust those with artificial intelligence in ways similar to human relations.

Ha said: “They trust in their lives and the most intimate stories and emotions they have.” “I think at the practical level, that artificial intelligence will not save you now when there is a fire, but I think people trust artificial intelligence in the same way.”

Physical touch and sex

H haeh said that artificial intelligence comrades can be a great way for people to play more intimate and weak sexual imaginations, noting that people can use sex games or robots to see some of these delusions.

But it is not a substitute for human touch, Garcia says we are biologically programmed for need and desire. He pointed out that due to the isolated digital age that we are in, many people felt “touching hunger” – a situation that occurs when you do not get much of the physical touch you need, which can cause stress, anxiety and depression. This is because engaging in a pleasant touch, such as hug, makes your brain release oxytocin, the hormone feeling of contentment.

Ha said that she is testing human touch between spouses in virtual reality using other tools, such as possible Haptics allowances.

“The touch capabilities are virtual and also connected to AI huge,” said Ha. “Touch techniques that are developed are already flourishing.”

The dark side of imagination

Intimate violence is a problem all over the world, and a lot of artificial intelligence is trained in this violence. Haa and Garcia agreed that artificial intelligence may be a problem, for example, exaggerating aggressive behaviors – especially if this is a fantasy that someone plays with artificial intelligence.

This anxiety is not baseless. Multiple studies They have shown that men who see more pornography, which can include violent and aggressive sex, are It is likely to be sexual aggressive With real life partners.

Garcia said: “Ellen Kovman, working by one of my colleagues at the Kinzi Institute, has looked at this accurate issue of approval language and how people can train their chat stations to inflate the non -consensual language,” Garcia said.

He pointed out that people use artificial intelligence companions to experience good and bad, but the threat is that in the end you can train people on how to be aggressive and inconsistent partners.

“We have enough of that in society,” he said.

Haa believes that these risks can be mitigated with studied organization, transparent algorithms, and moral design.

Of course, I made this comment before the White House was released Artificial Intelligence Action PlanHe who says nothing about transparency – which is opposed by many artificial intelligence companies – or morals. The plan also seeks to eliminate a lot of organization about artificial intelligence.
