2 articles · Updated · The New York Times · May 20

The New York Times' Modern Love podcast is asking listeners to send voice memos about how A.I. changed a relationship with a partner, friend, family member or co-worker.
The call seeks specific accounts of what the relationship was like before A.I. entered, how the technology got involved and what happened afterward, with selected stories potentially featured in an upcoming episode.
Examples cited include using A.I. as a couples-therapy aid, discovering someone’s chatbot conversations or drafting flirtatious text replies through a chatbot.
Submissions must be emailed as voice recordings with the sender’s name, pronouns and location, and contributors are warned that excerpts may be published and that identifying personal information could become public.

As millions find love with AI companions, is this the future of intimacy or a looming mental health crisis?

With AI mediating our fights and writing our texts, where is the line between a helpful tool and a relationship deception?
