S05 E10 How ChatGPT can damage relationships

from Less Surface Level · host Tessa Lloyd

Hi my loves! It's the season finale, thank you all for being here! In this episode, I’m talking about the role AI is starting to play in our relationships and how tools like ChatGPT can start to replace the messy, real parts of relationships, like processing emotions together, navigating conflict, and just being seen in our unfiltered state. I talk about emotional outsourcing, over-polished communication, and the pressure it can create when we start comparing real people to something designed to respond perfectly. I also touch on what it might mean if your partner is using AI in your relationship, and how to approach that without it turning into blame or disconnection. This episode is really about noticing the difference between using AI as support, and letting it slowly take the place of real intimacy.
