AI human partner, a mixed bag of emotions

While AI human partner is no replacement for a real human being who may build a relationship based on reality, having an online partner during dire situations can help calm someone in distress. Users may turn to an AI human partner to look for what it offers, and how it can be trained to say things.

However, after a point, it is bound to lose value and create a feeling of emptiness just like most passing fads, apps, and tools. It can be used as a tool to build interpersonal skills for beginners and those with anxiety. An AI human partner will listen, and offer to talk without actually judging a person.

Hence, it is essential to understand the boundaries of using AI support for grooming and improving skills. Such tools cannot offer longterm support, which needs to be understood by users who are looking to maximize AI-powered human partners.

App stores offer several options for AI human partners that do a range of functions as programmed by developers. It would be wise to understand the impact of using and feeling dependent on such applications for their needs.

Overusing such applications and bots may distort reality, making the user feel a sense of power with the expectation of similar submission from human beings as well. People use video games, and children play with dolls and toys.

Having a life-long memory of either is only natural as these offer support and entertainment at the same time and mean different things to different people.

However, just like toys and games, it is expected that individuals stop accessing AI human partners when it starts hampering their day-to-day activities and commitments.
