Mom, Dad, I'd like you to meet my girlfriend, Sakura Haruno from Naruto. This week, the burnouts explore the lurid world of AI girlfriends. We speculate on the psychology of those who engage with AI chatbots with the purposive intention of forming an emotional connection, like say, a therapist or a romantic partner - as well as what such a one-sided connection might do to you. Jeremy tries out his own AI girlfriend and discovers he still doesn't feel love.
