Sarah Chiappetta experienced discomfort when a friend's text response, aided by ChatGPT, sounded overly sympathetic and unfamiliar. As many people form bonds with chatbots, opinions diverge; some see this as dystopian, while others view it as alleviating loneliness. However, using AI to generate messages for real-life relationships may deter personal connections. Research indicates that people perceive AI-generated texts negatively, as specific language markers appear in these messages. This reliance on large language models may lead to decreased effort in emotive communications among friends and loved ones.
When engaging in personal conversation, using generative AI can alter perceptions and social interactions between individuals. Society has adapted to autocorrect, yet outsourcing emotional labor may result in greater dependency on technology.
The use of generative AI in texting leads to mixed reactions. Some view it as a solution to loneliness, while others believe it depersonalizes interactions by veering toward AI-generated conversations over original human communication.
