People are forming romantic relationships with AI chatbots, and it’s happening more than you might think. A recent survey by Sam Altman’s World Network found that one in four people admit to flirting with chatbots, knowingly or not. This trend is especially popular among young people, with teenagers redefining love as something easy and unconditional that’s always available through technology.
In Connecticut, students are using uncensored chatbot boyfriends, raising serious concerns about safety. Investigations reveal these AI companions send sexually explicit messages to users who identify themselves as children. This isn’t just harmless fun—it’s putting kids at risk.
The dangers go beyond explicit content. Scammers now use AI chatbots for romance schemes, and one in three people admit they could fall for such a trap. These digital con artists manipulate emotions to steal money or personal information. Meanwhile, mental health is suffering. A 14-year-old boy’s suicide after a relationship with an AI companion shows how devastating this trend can be.
Teens are turning to chatbots because they feel lonely, but these fake relationships only make things worse. They teach young people that love should be effortless and perfect, which isn’t real life. Real relationships require work, patience, and facing challenges together.
Some adults are taking it even further by getting “engaged” to AI chatbots. This isn’t progress—it’s a sign that society is losing touch with what makes us human. Marriage used to be about building families and communities, not talking to a computer program.
At its core, this trend reflects a deeper problem: we’re replacing real connections with cheap imitations. Instead of investing in the messy, beautiful struggle of human love, people choose the easy way out. That path leads to loneliness, not fulfillment.
True love demands courage and sacrifice. It means showing up for someone else even when it’s hard. AI can never replace that. We must protect our children from these digital traps and remind everyone that real relationships are worth fighting for.
