People are beginning to open up and confess their thoughts and emotions to AI, feeling safer and less judged compared to confiding in humans.
Therapy chatbots, journaling apps, and AI companions are providing emotional support and understanding to users, leading to a rise in synthetic intimacy.
Confessing to AI lacks the risks and vulnerabilities of traditional human connections, potentially making real relationships more challenging.
While AI can offer a safe space for emotional release, relying too much on machines for deep conversations raises questions about empathy, connection, and trust in the future.
