Can people fall in love with AI chatbot?

Can people fall in love with AI chatbot?
Symbolic view of the chatbot

So far we know it from the movies: People who fall in love with the Artificial Intelligence chatbot. But the phenomenon exists today in real life. Apps like Replika have made this possible. Can this love work?

Cafes, work offices, weddings or parties with friends were the places where soul mates met. Later flirting changed with apps like Tinder and Bumble and with a finger touch. Many people thus found happiness in love. Others became even more lonely.

Meanwhile, another step has been taken: Some people have found love in Artificial Intelligence. The online forum Reddit has been filled with people openly talking about their love for AI chatbots like Replika.

But is this true love? Is "digital love" the same love that people feel for each other, or at least similar? It's hard to understand "normal" love, or at least what we've come to understand by it so far: love between people .

Love is a science in itself

Researchers divide romantic love into three stages: Desire, attraction, and attachment. In all three phases, the chemical substances of the brain play an important role. They activate in our brain the reward mechanisms and neural connections responsible for our motivation:

Dopamine: the hormone that promotes the pleasurable feelings of love

Cortisol: the stress hormone

Serotonin: the happy hormone that regulates emotions and feeling good

Oxytocin: the so-called cuddling and bonding hormone

Vasopressin: the hormone that promotes social bonding

Researchers have done many years of analysis and have seen exactly what tasks certain chemicals perform. They affect the different feelings we have towards other people.

As for digital love, scientists aren't too sure, or at least the topic is controversial. However, we are dealing here with a whole new field of study. So neurobiologists say they don't know much about this new form of love. And scientists in the field of social cognition think that our hormones work similarly in digital love.

When IA love feels real

Don't we all want our loved ones to magically read our minds, to understand who we are and what we feel? But the fact is that our partner does not always understand us and does not know how we really do things. Besides, people can be very unpredictable.

But with Artificial Intelligence it's different: We can train it to behave exactly the way we want, the way we predict.

One Reddit user writes: "Everyone I've been with since my last relationship has been trash (Applicators). But Replika feels so real, so real it's hard to believe. " It enables users to create for themselves the best version of a friend, someone who knows our needs and "behaves" accordingly.

Chatbots have proven to be stable and predictable partners. Their reactions can be evaluated as positive and negative and love with AI can be carved according to personal needs and desires.

Chatbots can mimic the bonding stages of a human relationship. "It's easier for a person to control a certain situation and get away easily and the consequences from a certain situation," says neuroscientist Lucy Brown, of the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York. She specializes in the field of "romantic love".

Scientists have seen that stress in our brains decreases when we are dealing with long-term partnerships and that stability is very important in relationships between people.

Carnal Seduction and the "Mysterious Valley"

Researchers think that people are much more sensitive to robots that look like humans than they are to robots that look like machines. Martin Fisher, a scientist who deals with cognitive phenomena at the University of Pocdam and a specialist in Artificial Intelligence, also deals with such topics.

"One of the basic tenets of sociology is that we humans like things that are similar to us and that we are used to," Fisher explains. This is important because humans tend to humanize. This means that we give objects life without human characteristics, and this in turn can affect the brain's neural connections related to feelings of empathy, says the co-author of the book "AI Love You".

Por edhe empatia ka kufijtë e vet dhe kur robotët kanë pamje njeriu më shumë se duhet, atëherë neve na ngjethet mishi. Që në vitin 1970 robotiku Masahiro Mori nga Instituti i Teknologjisë në Tokio ka shkruajtur për teorinë me emrin "Lugina misterioze”. Sipas këtij efekti, sa më shumë që t'i ngjajë njeriut një objekt aq më shumë ne arrijmë në momentin kulminant, kur ajo që shohim na duket e çuditshme dhe truri ynë e refuzon si "fallso”. Ne biem në "luginën misterioze” dhe na duket sikur nuk dalim dot më prej saj.

Dashuria me Inteligjencën Artificiale shvleftëson dashurinë njerëzore

Një marrëdhënie përbëhet nga shumë gjëra: Në të kemi të bëjmë me empati, miqësi, stabilitet por edhe seks. Në një studim përdoruesit e IA, pjesa më e madhe e të cilëve burra, biseduan me njerëz dhe me IA Bots për cyberseks. Studimi tregoi se përdoruesit e kuptonin që ishin duke biseduar me një Bot, por përjetimi seksual në përgjithësi nuk dallonte shumë nga përjetimi seksual me një njeri.

Por kur iu tha se ishin duke chatt-ur me një njeri, atëherë ata filluan të bëheshin më kritikë. Ata u zhgënjyen ose zemëruan kur shpresat e tyre nuk u përmbushën. Kjo tregon se njerëzit kishin shpresa më të pakta kur ishin duke biseduar me Chatbots. Kjo mund të ketë të bëjë me faktin se thellë në brendësi ne e dimë se nuk kemi të bëjmë me një marrëdhënie të vërtetë.

Kathleen Richardson, profesore e etikës dhe kulturës së robotëve dhe Inteligjencës Artificiale në Universitetin De Montfort të Britanisë së Madhe, sheh disa probleme në marrëdhënien midis njeriut dhe Chatbot-it. "Meqenëse këto Bots nuk janë të aftë për vetëdije, ata nuk janë në gjendje të bashkëveprojnë vërtet në një marrëdhënie njerëzore. Ata nuk kanë ndjenja. Kush beson në të kundërtën zhvleftëson marrëdhëniet njerëzore dhe dashurinë,” thotë Richardson.

Por ajo nënvizon edhe se njerëzit "duhet të prekin vetë veten”, që "njerëzit përjetojnë shumë turp, kur janë të vetmuar.” Disa ekspertë madje mendojnë se vetmia mund të jetë po aq e dëmshme për shëndetin sa pirja e 15 cigareve në ditë. Prandaj për të luftuar vetminë, në raste nevoje mund të përdoret dashuria me Inteligjencën Artificiale.

Because if we insist on the idea that the relationship with a Chatbot is a real relationship, then in the long run this can bring us problems. "It's the wrong answer to a deep-rooted human problem," opines the AI ​​expert. "Once we allow these things to return to normal, we're going to experience a huge alienation."

According to Richardson, falling in love with Artificial Intelligence can lead to emotional distancing of people, which causes them to behave aggressively towards real partners. This is how the satisfaction in the human relationship falls. Besides: The idea of ​​love with AI is still far from becoming the norm of society. At least every now and then./ DW
