Generative AI promises connection, convenience, and understanding—but at what cost? In this episode, we expose the darker side of our growing emotional dependence on chatbots. From partners secretly confiding in AI “therapists” to couples torn apart by algorithmic validation, we examine how tools like ChatGPT are rewiring human intimacy. With insights from psychologists and tech ethicists, we unpack the dopamine-driven design behind these systems and how constant digital affirmation is replacing genuine empathy. This is a story about love, loneliness, and the quiet digital addiction reshaping the foundations of marriage and family life.
