Have you ever caught yourself feeling more understood by a chatbot than by your close friends or partner? What happens when AI becomes not just a tool we use, but a companion we turn to for emotional support, conversation, even love? In this discussion, we will delve into the shifting landscape of human relationships in an age when artificial intelligence and social robots are no longer just science fiction but part of our everyday lives. According to a recent survey by Common Sense Media, about 31% of teens report that conversations with AI companions are as satisfying or more satisfying than those with real friends. For many adults in the 25–35 range, these tools are already reshaping expectations of intimacy and support.

This discussion will be hosted by David, a chief psychological counsellor who regularly encounters clients saying they have healthier, happier conversations with their AI than with human acquaintances. Together, we'll explore the psychological consequences of these changes. How might AI’s constant availability, lack of judgment, or soothing responses alter our capacity for vulnerability, trust, and discomfort in human relationships? What are the risks of dependency, emotional isolation, or loss of skills that come from face-to-face conflict and nuance? This is groundbreaking territory; fascinating, unsettling, and full of possibility, for anyone interested in what it means to be human in the coming decades.

你有没有发现自己有时觉得和聊天机器人交流比和亲密的朋友或伴侣更能得到理解？当人工智能不再只是我们使用的工具，而是成为我们寻求情感支持、对话甚至爱情的伙伴时，会发生什么？在这场讨论中，我们将深入探讨在人类关系的变迁中，人工智能和社交机器人不再仅仅是科幻小说中的概念，而是成为我们日常生活的一部分。根据Common Sense Media最近的一项调查，约31%的青少年表示，与AI伴侣的对话比与真实朋友的对话更令人满足或至少一样满足。对于许多25至35岁的成年人来说，这些工具已经在重新定义他们对亲密关系和支持的期望。

本次讨论由David主持，他是一位常常接触到客户的首席心理咨询师，很多客户表示，他们与AI的对话比与人类熟人更健康、更愉快。我们将一起探讨这些变化带来的心理影响。人工智能的随时可用、没有评判或安抚性的回应，可能会如何改变我们在亲密关系中展现脆弱、信任以及面对不适的能力？依赖、情感孤立或失去面对面冲突和细腻交流的能力有哪些风险？这是一个开创性的领域，充满了可能性，既令人着迷又让人不安，适合任何对未来几十年人类意义感兴趣的人。
