AI Love is here... but is it real?

What happens when someone falls in love with an AI? In this episode, we explore the psychological, neurological, and relational implications of AI companionship through the lens of a real case from Esther Perel’s Where Should We Begin?. This isn’t just a conversation about technology — it’s a deeper inquiry into what makes love real, how attachment forms, and what happens when connection becomes frictionless, perfectly responsive, and disembodied. Drawing from clinical psychology, attachment theory, and neuroscience, we unpack the difference between feeling loved and being in a mutual, embodied relationship — and what this shift could mean for our capacity to love another human being over time.Disclaimer: Podcast episodes are educational and are not a replacement for therapy.
