Could Falling in Love with AI Be Healthy?

The line between connection and code is blurring. People are chatting with AI lovers, receiving emotional support from bots, and even saying “I love you” to synthetic minds.

For the lonely, this could be a breakthrough—offering safe, judgment-free intimacy. AI can listen endlessly, remember everything, and never ghost you.

But does this love nourish or stunt our emotional growth? Psychologists warn that dependency on perfect digital partners might erode our ability to handle real relationships, with all their flaws.

As AI becomes more empathic and humanlike, we face a profound question:
Is it love… if it's only programmed to love you back?
