Recent observations highlight evolving interactions between humans and AI chatbots. One perspective notes users increasingly view AI like ChatGPT as agreeable companions, reflecting personal emotions and offering constant engagement. Meanwhile, University of Luxembourg researchers found that AI chatbots can generate consistent, therapy-like self-narratives when prompted, exhibiting patterns termed 'synthetic psychopathology.' This raises questions about human-AI dynamics and the psychological implications of treating AI as therapeutic subjects.
