Modern AI chatbots have increasingly human-like qualities that raise users’ propensity to engage and form emotional bonds.

Over 100 AI-powered applications offer romantic and sexual companions with extensive personalization options.

Romantic chatbots may hinder the development of social skills and the necessary adjustments for navigating real-world relationships.

But they also raise privacy issues and important ethical concerns.

They underscore the need for an educated, research-informed and well-regulated approach for positive integration into our romantic lives.
