About this listen
We're back with another episode of Gentle Chaos! This week, we're diving into a strange and very 2025 trend: people forming emotional relationships with AI. Inspired by some TikToks and an Atlantic article, I unpack why some folks are turning to generative chatbots like ChatGPT for friendship, venting, and even comfort.
What does it say about our emotional lives that some people would rather cry to an algorithm than call a friend? Is it connection or just convenience? And why is it easier to open up to a machine than to someone who knows us in real life?
Plus, a quick shoutout to anyone joining from The Don Lemon Show — welcome to the chaos.
